Squamous papilloma, also squamous cell papilloma, is a benign squamous lesion, typically of the head and neck.
Laryngeal papilloma redirects here.
The caruncle lesion is dealt with in papilloma of the caruncle. The lesion in the esophagus is dealt with in squamous papilloma of the esophagus.
General
- Benign.
- Typically related to HPV 6 and HPV 11.
Gross
Features:[1]
- Exophytic mass.
Microscopic
Features:[1]
- Branching papillae.
- Papilla = nipple-like projection with a fibrovascular core.
- Basal cell hyperplasia.
- Koilocytes.
Note:
- The threshold for dysplasia is somewhat higher in the head and neck than in the uterine cervix.
DDx:
- Squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck - verrucous, papillary and exophytic subtypes.
- Verruca vulgaris - have granular layer, hyperkeratosis and parakeratosis.[2]
- Oral condyloma - broader projections with a blunted appearance.[2]

Micro
The sections show fibrovascular cores covered by stratified squamous epithelium with basal cell hyperplasia and edema. Scattered lymphocytes are present in the epithelium. No mitotic activity is appreciated. There is no significant nuclear atypia. Dyskeratotic cells are seen focally. Parakeratosis is present. Koilocytes are not apparent.
Low-grade dysplasia
The sections show fibrovascular cores covered by stratified squamous epithelium. Scattered lymphocytes are present in the epithelium. Rare mitotic activity is appreciated in the lower third of the epithelium. Mild nuclear atypia (hyperchromasia and mild nuclear enlargement in the lower third of the epithelium) is present. Dyskeratotic cells are seen focally. Parakeratosis is present. Koilocytes are seen focally.
