Core Tip This retrospective study highlighted the endoscopic features of oral and pharyngolaryngeal papillomas and identified three distinct morphological patterns: Salmon roe-like, polyps without capillary transparency, and pinecone-like. By contrasting these features with those of squamous cell carcinomas, namely, uneven lobulated structures, irregular capillaries, and flat lesion components, this study provides practical guidance for distinguishing these lesions during esophagogastroduodenoscopy. Our findings may reduce unnecessary biopsies and improve diagnostic accuracy, offering endoscopists valuable insights into oropharyngeal region evaluations. To our knowledge, this is the first detailed analysis of the endoscopic patterns of papillomas in these regions.
