Abstract
Umbilical squamous papilloma: a case report
Highlights
A 21-year-old Caucasian male presented with a 2-year history of an asymptomatic mass in the umbilicus
Histopathological evaluation of the specimen revealed multiple finger-like projections supported by central fibrovascular cores which were covered by a stratified squamous epithelium
It has been suggested that stem cell population of the hair follicle which contains keratin 15 might contribute to the development of squamous papilloma
