Papilloma

Papilloma is a benign tumor on the surface of the skin or mucous membranes, resembling a small papilla in appearance.

Examples of papillomas are:

1. Basal-cell papillomas are a type of keratosis, benign skin tumors.

2. Bladder papillomas are benign tumors of the bladder mucosa.

The adjective papillomatous is used to describe a surface covered with multiple papillomas.

Papillomas are benign tumors on the surface of the skin, arising from the integumentary layer of the epithelium. Papilloma is also called a number of lesions of the mucous membranes. Papillary tumors are most often found on the skin of the genitals, face and vocal cords. Pigmented papillomas are less common reasons for visiting a doctor.

Papilloma (Papillomavirus or HPV) is the growth of epithelium on the surface of various tissues of human internal organs. They are a fairly common phenomenon and cause pathological changes in the mucous membranes and skin, however, in rare cases, these neoplasms provoke malignant tumors. According to scientists, about half of the world's population may be carriers of HPV, which is more than a billion people. The epithelium in the cell exhibits the vital activity of the human papillomavirus for quite a long time, right up to the moment when these cells exit and their subsequent death. This is why the virus destroys surrounding tissue and forms growths. It affects the mucous membrane of the genital organs and navel. Neoplasms can appear on the tongue, retina and even on the scalp. The virus enters the body through kissing or oral sex, through minor damage and microtrauma to the skin.

Let us now consider the types of papillomas:
