Abstract

Papilloma of the skin appears as single or multiple small verrucous papules at the site of application of a carcinogen or irradiation. These papules are usually a few millimeters in diameter and rarely exceed 1 cm in diameter. The surface of the tumors may be covered by a keratin mass, and as the tumors grow bigger, their surface can become ulcerated or crusted. Papillomas never adhere to the deeper layer. Small papillomas of less than 3 mm in diameter often undergo spontaneous regression.
