Abstract

Pedunculated squamous papillomas usually arise from the soft palate, tonsil or the epiglottis. These lesions can sometimes prove to be fatal. A case of peduculated squamous papilloma, arising from the laryngopharynx, in a young, mentally retarded female, is presented here. The clinical presentation, the site of origin and the size of the lesion were quite unusual. The narrow base of the pedicle made the intra-oral excision possible.
