ABSTRACT
Oral papilloma, a frequently encountered benign lesion, can be managed effectively with various treatments. A unique case of oral mucosal papilloma extending from the buccal fat pad region to the corner of the mouth is presented here. Although papilloma larger than 10 mm2 are associated with a high risk of becoming cancerous and should be treated promptly, the papilloma in this case would have been difficult to resect due to involvement of the parotid duct opening and the corner of the mouth. Topical external application of 5-aminolevulinic acid-mediated photodynamic therapy (ALA-PDT) was employed successfully in this case, with no recurrence at 20 months of follow-up. Therefore, ALA-PDT may represent a promising therapeutic option for challenging cases of multifocal papilloma of the oral mucosal.
