Oral Squamous Papilloma Management with Diode Laser: A Case Report

Abstract

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.

Management of Oral Squamous Papilloma Using Annona squamosa (Custard Apple) Leaves: A Novel Case

“…It is made of a supporting core of connective tissue and a tiny quantity of benign epithelium. OSP was initially described as a "gingival wart" by Tomes in 1848 [6].…”

“…HPV 6 and HPV 11 may be linked to it since it is most usually detected on the tongue, palate, uvula, and gingiva. Up to 50% of oral papillomas have been found to contain the HPV 6 and 11 strains [6].…”

“…Electron microscope analysis reveals viral particles. In situ hybridization, immunohistochemistry, and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) procedures are the additional detection methods [6]. There was no viral genetic typing done.…”
