So you don’t think it’s cancer or anything that is of immediate concern? It’s not bothering me, so do I have to have it removed?
Brief Answer:
Papilloma
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I'd suggest you get it removed. Though, it is not an emergency. Uvula papilloma is an HPV infection. It may grow further and cause symptoms. Rarely, these may transform into cancer.
