Papilloma

Papilloma refers to a benign (non-cancerous) growth or lesion caused by the proliferation of epithelial cells, often resulting in a small, wart-like formation. These growths are typically linked to specific types of human papillomavirus (HPV) infections. They can appear on various parts of the body, such as the skin, mouth, or genital areas. While generally harmless, some papillomas may cause discomfort or cosmetic concerns, and in certain cases, persistent infections could potentially increase the risk of other health issues. Treatment usually involves removal or monitoring, depending on the location and symptoms.
