Journal Title: Imaging Journal of Clinical and Medical Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
The squamous papilloma is a common benign oral epithelial neoplasm [1]. Papilloma usually presents as an exophytic, painless papillary mass [2]. Oral Submucous Fibrosis is a premalignant condition [3]. A 45 year old female patient presented with growth in inner side of left cheek region. Patient had history of gutka chewing for past 6 years. On intra oral examination, the growth was pinkish, strawberry like in appearance with a papillary surface in the right buccal mucosa (Figure 1). Generalized blanching of oral mucosa was present (Figure 2). The growth was not tender on palpation and firm in consistency. The growth was pedunculated with no induration or bleeding on palpation. Palpable fibrotic bands were present in the buccal mucosa.
