Laryngeal papillomatosis (squamous papilloma)

 

 

Laryngeal papillomatosis, also known as squamous papilloma is the most common benign laryngeal

neoplasm.  The lesion can be single or multiple and typically occurs along the true and false vocal cords. 

Nonetheless, it can occur anywhere along the larynx.  The lesion shows papillary, exophytic growth with

fibrovascular core (left).  Multilayered squamous epithelium is shown without keratinization (right).
