Papilloma of lip associated with human papilloma viruses‑32 infection in a child.

ABSTRACT

Squamous papilloma is the most common benign oral epithelial lesion, and it is well known to be associated with human papilloma virus 6 and 11. Here, we report a case of squamous papilloma associated with human papilloma viruses (HPV)‑32 in a 4‑year‑old boy who presented with a verrucous lesion on the lower lip. HPV‑32 is often associated with a rare benign condition focal epithelial hyperplasia (FEH). A limited number of lesions and the absence of characteristic histology ruled out FEH in our patient. To the best of our knowledge, the association of oral squamous papilloma with HPV‑32 is hitherto unreported.
