Squamous papilloma is a benign tumor of the larynx caused by Human Papilloma Virus (HPV). Usually it tends to be multiple and recurrent and it is frequently detected in pediatric patients. It often settles on the vocal cords but through oral cavity and aerodigestive pathways it can easily spread into other regions. Pathology in pediatric patients is slightly more aggressive and progressive. This lesion can cause severe narrowing of the airway and even emergency tracheotomy may be necessary. The disease progresses slowly in adulthood and most frequently leads to complaints of dysphagia and dysphonia. In larynx examination, the pathology is seen as a pedunculated, exophytic structured broad-based lesion. Clinical progression in patients with squamous papillomas usually varies. Although it is usually benign, however if there is underlying presence of dysplasia, patients should be followed closely. Besides identification of HPV types needed to be done and it should be kept in mind that this lesion can show malignant transformation. In this case report, a 44-year-old male patient admitted to our clinic with the complaint of hoarseness, and in the vocal cord examination, the reciprocal mass lesion was detected and pathological result of the biopsy which was “squamous papilloma showing the presence of dysplasia” was presented and discussed in the light of the literature.
