Papillomas appear in stratified squamous epithelium (skin, oral and pharynx, vagina, cervix, and in areas of squamous metaplasia), urothelium and galactophore ducts.
Adenomas are benign tumors of glandular epithelium (parenchyma organs with endocrine and exocrine secretion) and of unistratified mucosa of hollow organs.

Examples are:
- Squamous cell Papilloma
