case_images: Examination revealed a pedicled lesion, approximately 1.5 cm in length, extending from the inferior tip of her uvula (Figure 1(a)). The lesion was completely excised from its connection to the uvula under general anesthesia with electrocautery (Figures 1(b) and 1(c)).
case_images: Low power (10x) and high power (50x) hematoxylin and eosin stained sections from the uvula lesion. (a) The low power view demonstrates a papillary lesion consisting of multiple squamous lined papillary fronds containing fibrovascular cores. (b) At higher power the squamous cells show bland histological features. These findings are characteristic of a squamous papilloma.
