Verruca vulgaris is a benign infection caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). The lesions appear primarily on the cutaneous surfaces; however, mucosal involvement is less frequent. The typical presentation is asymptomatic papules varying in size and number. The differential diagnosis includes a diverse list of benign and malignant conditions. Herein, we present a 65-year-old male patient with an asymptomatic cauliflower-like mass on the tongue incidentally observed during internal medicine physical examination. The excisional biopsy revealed verruca vulgaris, and no new lesions were detected in the follow-up.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
