1/38. Oral wart associated with human papillomavirus type 2.More than 100 human papillomavirus (HPV) types have been identified to date. Of these, 24 types have been described as being associated with oral lesions. HPV-2 has been frequently associated with skin lesions, but the reports of oral lesions as features of mucosal infection are limited. A biopsy specimen of an oral wart on the right palate was taken from a 48-year-old man and examined for the presence of HPV The sections showed papillary growth of the epithelium with hyperkeratosis and parakeratosis, and koilocytotic changes of the cells located in the upper layers of the oral squamous cell epithelium. These histological features corresponded well to those of verruca vulgaris on the skin. Immunohistochemically, papillomavirus genus-specific capsid antigen was detected in most of the koilocytotic cells. In addition, Southern blot hybridization analysis revealed that the lesion harbored HPV-2 dna. in situ hybridization with a biotinylated HPV-2 dna probe clearly demonstrated viral dna in the nuclei of squamous cells, which were located in a deeper layer of the epithelium than viral antigen-positive cells.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = vulgaris (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/38. Giant cutaneous horn associated with verruca vulgaris.Cutaneous horn (cornu cutaneum) is the clinical description of a hyperproliferation of compact keratin in response to a wide array of underlying benign and malignant pathologic changes. We report a patient with a giant cutaneous horn associated with a verruca vulgaris. The possible causes of cutaneous horns are reviewed.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 5keywords = vulgaris (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/38. Large plantar wart caused by human papillomavirus-66 and resolution by topical cidofovir therapy.warts can be difficult to diagnose and to treat in the setting of human immunodeficiency virus (hiv) infection. A 37-year-old woman with a background of hiv presented with a large verrucous plaque involving her right foot. Human papillomavirus (HPV)-66 was identified in the lesional skin biopsy sample and in scrapings obtained from her cervix. The wart rapidly responded to topical cidofovir therapy. HPV-66 is a novel HPV type to be associated with verruca vulgaris. Topical cidofovir should be further investigated as an alternative treatment modality for verruca vulgaris.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 2keywords = vulgaris (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/38. Raynaud phenomenon after treatment of verruca vulgaris of the sole with intralesional injection of bleomycin.Intralesional injection of bleomycin (BLM) for the treatment of warts resistant to all conventional therapies is of certain interest because of the drug's low toxicity and its efficacy. However, delayed side effects may appear, particularly Raynaud phenomenon. Accordingly, some precautions must be taken in patients with vascular or collagen diseases and, as a precaution, pregnant or lactating women and infants should not be treated with this drug.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 4keywords = vulgaris (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/38. Verruca vulgaris with CD30-positive lymphoid infiltrate: a case report.Expression of CD30 has been reported in reactive lymphoid cells that accompany some cutaneous viral infections. It is interpreted as a marker of lymphocyte activation in response to the infecting virus. We report on a case of viral wart presenting with an inflammatory infiltrate with numerous CD30 atypical lymphoid cells. These cells comprised approximately 10% of the reactive cell population and showed a T-helper phenotype. infection by human papillomavirus should be included among the causes of cutaneous CD30 reactive lymphoid infiltrates.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 4keywords = vulgaris (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/38. Hemorrhagic bullae after cryosurgery in a patient with hemophilia a.BACKGROUND: A case of hemorrhagic bullae and blisters on the hand of a patient with hemophilia a after cryosurgery for verruca vulgaris is reported. OBJECTIVE: To discuss a hemorrhagic complication in a patient with hemophilia a after cutaneous cryosurgery. methods: This is an observatory case report. RESULTS: Even minimal cryosurgery can induce hemorrhagic bullae in patients with hemophilia a. CONCLUSION: The risks and benefits of cryosurgery should be weighed carefully in patients with bleeding disorders such as hemophilia.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = vulgaris (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/38. Hypnotherapy for warts (verruca vulgaris): 41 consecutive cases with 33 cures.Published, controlled studies of the use of hypnosis to cure warts are confined to using direct suggestion in hypnosis (DSIH), with cure rates of 27% to 55%. Prepubertal children respond to DSIH almost without exception, but adults often do not. Clinically, many adults who fail to respond to DSIH will heal with individual hypnoanalytic techniques that cannot be tested against controls. By using hypnoanalysis on those who failed to respond to DSIH, 33 of 41 (80%) consecutive patients were cured, two were lost to follow-up, and six did not respond to treatment. Self-hypnosis was not used. Several illustrative cases are presented.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 4keywords = vulgaris (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/38. Giant verruca vulgaris.BACKGROUND: Common warts (verrucae vulgares) are hyperkeratotic papulonodules that are most often seen on the hands, arms, and legs, but they can be seen anywhere on the glabrous skin. Common warts represent the most frequent clinical lesions produced by the human papillomavirus (HPV). OBJECTIVE: Although they are diagnosed easily, giant, chronic, isolated, solitary, recalcitrant verruca vulgaris involving nail and nail bed on the digits can be misdiagnosed, and the differential diagnosis should be made carefully and verified by biopsies. METHOD: A 50-year-old male patient had a giant periungual verruca vulgaris on his left second finger. It was present for 2 years, was unresponsive to any treatment modality, and was treated by surgical excision. RESULTS: After 18 months of follow-up, there was no evidence of recurrence, and both aesthetic and functional results were quite satisfactory. CONCLUSION: Lesions of long duration generally lose their characteristic histopathologic features, and HPV cannot be detected in these lesions by polymerase chain reaction. Therefore, multiple sections should be examined histopathologically, and extreme care should be taken in order to avoid misdiagnosis.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 6keywords = vulgaris (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/38. Oral verruca vulgaris: report of a rare case.The common wart or verruca vulgaris are lesions of childhood caused by HPV 2, 4, and 40. These are benign, elevated, firm nodules with characteristic papillomatous surface projections. The most common site of occurrence is the finger. Oral lesions are relatively rare and are usually caused by auto inoculation from lesions on the fingers and hands. We herewith report a case of oral verruca vulgaris that occurred in a middle-aged individual without any wart like lesions elsewhere in the body.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 6keywords = vulgaris (Clic here for more details about this article) |
10/38. The painful purple digit: an alarming complication of candida albicans antigen treatment of recalcitrant warts.candida albicans (CA) antigen immunotherapy for recalcitrant warts is a novel treatment that has had much success in the recent past. Although several side effects are well documented in the literature, we report a new adverse reaction to CA antigen immunotherapy for verruca vulgaris of the distal fingertip. Our patient received an intradermal injection of CA antigen solution into periungual warts located on the distal left thumb and distal subungual area of the left index finger. Within 24 hours, the patient reported pain, edema, and a purple hue to only the index finger. Incision of the finger demonstrated no hematoma or compartment syndrome. Although the etiology is unknown, we believe the condition was most likely due to edema and vascular compromise secondary to a vigorous delayed-type hypersensitivity reaction, possibly leading to cyanosis of the distal index finger. We report this case to make physicians who use intralesional CA antigen aware of a new possible complication at this anatomic location.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = vulgaris (Clic here for more details about this article) |
