My ENT guy says I have a small one about the size of a pencil lead in the back of my throat. He throws in, almost nonchalantly, as I am leaving, that sometimes these turn out to be cancerous but it is "very rare".

Pappiliomas can be found in many parts of the body. There has been a lot in the news lately about papillomavirus causing cervical cancer. But there can also be papilloma lesions in the repiratory tract, GI tract, etc. They can be pre-cancerous and usually be need to be checked by your physician occasionally to be sure there isn't change or growth. Good Luck.
