ABSTRACT
Oral squamous papilloma is an exophytic mass resulting from a benign proliferation of stratified squamous epithelium induced by human papillomavirus (types 6 and 11). This condition is characterized by the presence of a lesion on the tongue or soft palate, but anywhere in the oral cavity may be affected. When the lesion is distinctive and the patient is an older adult, carcinoma has to be ruled out. Consequently, a prompt early diagnosis is essential for the prognosis. The aim of this paper is to report a clinical case of this condition in an elderly person.
