Oral squamous papilloma in children

ABSTRACT

Oral squamous papilloma [OSP] is a benign proliferation of the stratified squamous epithelium, which results in a verrucous or papillary exophytic mass. A female child patient 5 year old suspected to have an oral papilloma underwent excisional biopsy for histopathologic analysis. The lesions were round, whitish and softened/flaccid. The histopathologic examination revealed hyperparakeratosis, occasional basal hyperplasia, and koilocyte-like cells in the specimen.
