Clinical
Cutaneous warts
- Common (HPV 1,2,4,27,57)
Hands, trauma sites, filiform in periorificial, periungual, onychodystrophy, 10 nail dystrophy (HPV 57)
- Palmar/plantar (as common)
Myrmecia, mosaic (coalesce into large painful plaques)
- Inclusion warts
Plantar cysts from (HPV4,60,63,65)
- Flat (HPV 3,10> 28,29)
- Butcher (HPV 7>2)
- Digital squamous cell carcinoma & Bowen (HPV 16>31) oncogenic
- Epidermodysplasia verruciformis (HPV 3,5,8)
Autosomal recessive, mutation in EVER1 (TMC6)/ EVER2 (TMC8) genes encoding proteins that form a complex with the zinc transporter 1 (ZnT1) down-regulating zinc-associated transcription factors. Inhibition of ZnT1-TMC6/8 function→ facilitate viral infection → flat warts + actinic keratosis & squamous cell carcinoma in sun-exposed areas
Mucosal warts
- Condylomata acuminata/Buschke Löwenstein tumor (HPV 6,11)
- High-grade intraepithelial neoplasias (cervical condylomata plana, bowenoid papulosis, erythroplasia of Queyrat) & invasive cancer (HPV 16 >18, 31, 33, 45, 52, 58)
- Heck disease (focal epithelial hyperplasia) (HPV 13,32)
- Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (HPV 6,11)
Forms: juvenile & adult-onset
- Juvenile: vertical transmission from mother to child by aspiration → insufficient evidence to support cesarean section for prevention
- Adult-onset: genital-oral
- Triad of hoarseness, stridor, & respiratory distress
- Conjunctival papilloma (HPV 6,11)
