Abstract

Human papillomavirus is an infectious cause of cutaneous neoplasia in humans. Warts can be present on any location on the body and are distributed in a variety of patterns and morphologies. Most warts will resolve spontaneously, while others may progress to cancer. This chapter discusses the epidemiology, etiology, clinical features, prognosis, histopathology, and current treatment options for HPV-derived neoplasms.
