background: in 1970, human papillomavirus (hpv) was introduced as the main etiologic factor of cervical carcinoma. since there is no possibility of detecting the virus and its subtypes using serological methods and cell culture, the molecular methods such as pcr have particular importance in accurate, early and definite diagnosis of the virus. so, in this research, our goal is to use a propriet...

abstract background and aims: the human papilloma virus was introduced as the major etiological agent in outbreak of cervical cancer in 1970. since it is very difficult to recognize these viruses and their types using the serological tests and cell culture, molecular methods such as pcr are of great importance. therefore, in this study, our goal was to use a multiple specific pcr assay on l1 an...

background warts are benign tumors of the skin and mucosa and are caused by human papilloma virus (hpv). they are one of the most common skin diseases found mainly in children and adolescents. although most of the warts disappear spontaneously or respond to the usual therapeutic measures, resistant forms of the warts impose a problem in dermatology. intralesional injection of bleomycin has been...

Oral squamous papillomas are benign proliferating lesions induced by human papilloma virus. These lesions are painless and slowly growing masses. As an oral lesion, it raises concern because of its clinical appearance. These lesions commonly occur between age 30 and 50 years, and sometimes can occur before the age of 10 years. Oral squamous papilloma accounts for 8% of all oral tumors in childr...

Inverted Papilloma is a benign sinonasal tumor which generates considerable interest because they can recur and undergo malignant transformation. We report a case of giant inverted papilloma coming out of nasal cavity through the nasopharynx and hanging in oropharynx which was treated by transnasal endoscopic approach. The patient was asymptomatic 9 months after surgery. Endoscopic approach has...

BACKGROUND Maxillary sinus inverted papilloma entails medial maxillectomy and is associated with high incidence of recurrence. OBJECTIVE To study the impact of prior surgery on recurrence rate after transnasal endoscopic medial maxillectomy. METHODOLOGY Eighteen patients with primary and 33 with recurrent maxillary sinus inverted papilloma underwent transnasal endoscopic medial maxillectomy...

Solitary papilloma of the lung is thought to be a rare benign epithelial tumor, and complete surgical resection is currently the standard treatment for this pathology. However, some cases of papilloma have reportedly shown malignant potential. We report two cases of solitary glandular papilloma of the peripheral lung that were treated by thoracoscopic partial resection. The first patient presen...

Papilloma virus infections of the oral cavity have been long recognized with various clinical expressions characterized as verruca vulgaris, Heck's disease, multiple papilloma and condyloma acuminata. In this paper, we are highlighting a case of verruca vulgaris involving the oral cavity with extensive skin lesions in a nonimmunocompromised 9-year-old boy. Different treatment modalities are dis...

Inverted papilloma is the most common benign tumor of nose and paranasal sinuses arising from lateral nasal wall and middle meatus. Histologically these tumors are composed of epithelial nests that are inverted, exophytic and cylindrical. Here we describe a clinical case of nasal cylindrical cell papilloma, which was treated by endoscopic excision.
