The clinical significance of Dietzia papillomatosis is for the moment limited to the rare skin disease confluent and reticulated papillomatosis. We present a case of infection with D. papillomatosis in a 2-year-old boy with known syringomyelia. The microbiological diagnosis was done using 16S rRNA gene sequencing. This is the first report of bacteremia with D. papillomatosis.

Diffuse biliary papillomatosis is a rare bile duct tumour. We report a case of multiple biliary papillomatosis treated surgically with a transhepatic stent. Diffuse biliary papillomatosis involving intra and extrahepatic bile ducts is extremely rare. It is regarded as having low grade malignant potential. In this report a case of diffuse biliary papillomatosis with obstructive jaundice is prese...

Introduction: Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP) is usually a relatively benign disease but can have an aggressive clinical course. The primary treatment for laryngeal papillomatosis is endoscopic resection. However, there is no effective treatment for pulmonary spread of laryngeal papillomatosis. Case Presentation: We describe a rare case of a 19-year-old man with pulmonary spread of l...

Confluent and reticulated papillomatosis is a rarely reported dermatosis of unknown origin. It is similar to nummular and confluent papillomatosis; punctate, pigmented verrucose papillomatosis; acanthosis nigricans; pseudoacanthosis nigricans; benign acanthosis nigricans; pseudoatrophoderma colli; tinea versicolor; Darier's disease; epidermodysplasia verruciformis; and verruca plana. Treatment ...

Esophageal papillomatosis is a very rare condition that is believed to have a benign clinical course. Recent reports underscore the potential development of a malignancy in association with squamous papillomatosis of the esophagus. A case of esophageal papillomatosis complicated by the development of esophageal invasive squamous cell carcinoma diagnosed after esophagectomy, despite multiple non...

Papillary lesions of breast represent a range of lesions. Intraductal papilloma and its association with nipple discharge are well known. However, multiple papillomatosis has quite distinct characteristics and decision making can be somewhat challenging. We report a case of multiple papillomatosis in association with ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS). Patient opted for ipsilateral mastectomy and ...

Introduction Biliary papillomatosis is a disease characterized by multiple papillary tumours of variable distribution and extent in the intrahepatic and/or extrahepatic biliary tree 1-5. Papillary carcinoma can develop within these lesions. Because biliary papillomatosis is a rare biliary pathological entity, its clinical features and outcome are not well known 5. Recently we experienced a case...

OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to determine whether human papillomavirus (HPV) infections are involved in the development of papillomatosis lesions of the lower female genital tract. METHODS A total of 616 biopsy specimens of genital papillomatous lesions (307 nodular and 309 papular types) from 598 patients were anaylyzed for the presence of HPV DNA sequences by polymerase chain r...

PURPOSE The mechanism of larynx oncogenesis is complex and controlled by various factors, most of them involved in cell proliferation and apoptosis. In this study, we evaluated the levels of two suppressor proteins (pRb and p53) and two oncogenic proteins (c-Myc and Bcl-2), as well as the apoptotic levels and the presence of human papillomavirus (HPV) in both tumor types. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN ...

Vulvar vestibular papillomatosis is considered an anatomical variant of the vulva. Recognition of this condition enables one to distinguish it from warts and therefore avoid unnecessary therapy. A 29-year-old lady presented to this clinic with a history of 'small growths' in her vulva since two years. Examination identified skin colored translucent papules; some of them appeared digitate and we...
