Abstract EN
Background.
Oral squamous papillomas are benign pedunculated masses that grow most commonly on the palate.
These benign lesions rarely cause symptoms.
Methods.
Here we present the case of a large, elongated squamous papilloma of the uvula causing dysphagia.
We also review pertinent literature related to these lesions.
Results.
This patient underwent surgical excision of her atypically symptomatic oral lesion, with complete resolution of symptoms.
Conclusion.
Oral squamous papillomas are benign lesions which are usually asymptomatic.
Dysphagia due to a squamous papilloma of the uvula has only been reported once in the literature previously.
The development of symptoms such as dysphagia due to squamous papilloma of the uvula is uncommon; however this may be more likely in the presence of particularly large lesions.
