Verrucae plantaris (plantar warts) are common cutaneous lesions of the plantar aspect of the foot that are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). Ubiquitous in our environment, asymptomatic infection with HPV occurs frequently, with most infections controlled or cleared by cellular and humoral immune responses. However, certain populations have been observed to manifest plantar warts at higher rates compared with the general population, placing them at increased risk for wart-induced pain and complications. Plantar warts shed HPV, which can then infect other sites in the plantar region or spread to other people. Although controlling risk factors is useful in preventing infection, the pervasive nature of HPV makes these preventive measures frequently impractical. This literature review outlines the current knowledge regarding the relationship between plantar wart pathophysiology, HPV transmission, and epidemiologic characteristics. Given the high propensity for treatment resistance of plantar warts and no established, practical, and reliable method of prevention, HPV prophylaxis for populations that demonstrate high rates of plantar warts may be of benefit in controlling the spread of lesions.

“…Por lo tanto, las verrugas plantares son generalmente diagnosticadas clínicamente (15). En casos de incertidumbre diagnóstica o resistencia al tratamiento, biopsia con histopatología la evaluación puede estar indicada (16). En el análisis histopatológico como engrosamiento del estrato córneo (10,17,18).…”

Las verrugas cutáneas son tumores intraepidérmicos benignos de la piel con una variedad de manifestaciones incluyendo verrugas comunes (verrucae vulgaris), verrugas palmar y plantar (verrugas palmares y plantares), verrugas en mosaico, verrugas planas (verrugas planas) generalmente diagnosticado por su apariencia clínica aunque el diagnóstico definitivo depende del examen histopatológico. La ecografía puede definir su extensión, ubicaciones exactas y patrones de flujo sanguíneo siendo extremadamente útil en casos difíciles, especialmente cuando los síntomas como el dolor persisten en el tiempo. También puede dar relevancia información prequirúrgica y, finalmente, puede proporcionar ideas importantes sobre las condiciones asociadas del pie.

“…Entry of the virus in to the epidermal tissue is allowed via a breach in the epidermal surface, often resulting from earlier microtrauma or maceration. The virus infects the basal layer of the epithelium, causing hyperkeratinisation and eventually a visible focal proliferation at the stratum corneum . The lesion can develop either singularly as a firm papule of hyperkeratotic tissue, or merge to form a cluster of lesions with a rough, scaly surface, which are referred to as ‘mosaic’.…”
