Abstract
A variety of papillary lesions affect the oral mucosa. In this section, we will be focusing on papillary lesions caused by various subtypes of human papilloma virus (HPV). HPV is a DNA virus that infects epithelial cells of the skin and mucosa resulting in solitary or multifocal epithelial lesions. Differentiating these lesions can be clinically difficult; in the following pages we present subtle clinical clues that can help. In some cases, histologic examination and HPV subtyping is needed to differentiate the lesions.
