Verruca vulgaris is a common skin lesion that is associated with human papilloma virus and is observed on the surface of skin. Verruca vulgaris is rarely seen in mucosal membranes. Atypical locations may be confused with verrucous carcinoma. The incidence of laryngeal verruca vulgaris has not yet been reported in the literature. Differential diagnoses in histopathological examinations include keratosis, squamous papilloma, verrucous hyperplasia, and verrucous carcinoma. Distinguishing disease from verrucous carcinoma is particularly important because the treatment approach can be altered. In this report, we present a rare case of laryngeal verruca vulgaris that was diagnosed on the basis of histopathological features.
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.
