Oral squamous papilloma in a pediatric patient: A case report and review

Squamous papillomas are benign exophytic lesions that are commonly found in the oral cavity. Although the exact etiology of the lesion is not known, an association with human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is suggested. On the contrary, some recent studies have showed no correlation between HPV and squamous papilloma. This article presents a case of 4-year-old male patient who reported with a papillary lesion on the palatal gingival which was diagnosed as oral squamous papilloma by histopathologic examination.
