Popis: An extensive papilloma in the region of the alveolar ridge of the right maxilla, palate and buccal mucosa is described. A 95-year-old woman was referred to our clinic for a swelling in the maxilla. Both physical and radiographic findings mimicked a carcinoma, but the histopathologic diagnosis was a papilloma. The tumor disappeared after chemotherapy. So far, her clinical progress has been satisfactory for 2 years and 7 months.
