This case report adds to the growing literature demonstrating the potential therapeutic use of vaccines in cancer treatment. Although HPV vaccination is currently approved for prophylaxis, the use of HPV vaccines as a therapeutic option for various HPV-mediated diseases, including OSSN, should be further explored. The HPV vaccine yielded significant initial improvement in this patient who refused further surgical interventions. The use of IM HPV vaccine as an adjunctive treatment of papillomatous OSSN may represent a potential therapeutic option in cases refractory to standard treatment modalities.
