Introduction: Oral Squamous Papilloma (OSP) is a benign, hyperplastic wart-like localized proliferation, representing an exaggerated growth of normal squamous epithelium caused by Human Papillomavirus (HPV) types 6 and 11. It can occur at any age and is commonly found on the tongue, lips, buccal mucosa and palate. Case report: We present a case of oral squamous papilloma in a 40-year-old male patient in the hard palate which was managed by laser excision. Conclusion: Oral Squamous Papilloma is an exophytic non-contagious growth which is caused by papilloma virus. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice and laser excision has shown to be a promising treatment modality with high patient compliance.
