Oral Squamous Papilloma (OSP) is the most common bening tumor in the oral mucosa. The main etiological factor is the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV). In recent years, it has been observed that it is directly related to HPV infection. In this case report, we present a case of squamous papilloma in the palate in a 54-year-old male patient. A 54-year-old male patient was admitted to our clinic for toothache. There was no systemic disease in the anamnesis taken from the patient. The patient also stated that he did not consume alcohol but smoked. During the clinical examination, a vegetative lesion of approximately 4 mm in diameter, whitish-pink in color, with a stalk was observed on the posterior hard palate surface. The patient said that he first noticed the lesion 3 months ago. Excisional biopsy was performed after clinical examination. The results of histopathology were consistent with the diagnosis of oral squamous papilloma and did not suggest malignancy. The patient was advised that the pathology could be transmitted sexually, to use condoms during sexual intercourse and to have periodic medical follow-up checks to prevent this condition. The gold Standard for clinical diagnosis of oral squamous papilloma is clinical and histopathological examination. Squamous papilloma is a common benign tumor. However, a correlation was found between HPV and oral cancer. Therefore, the diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of this lesion is important. Our case emphasizes the importance of early diagnosis of these lesions.
