RESUMEN
This report describes the clinical, onychoscopic, nail clipping, and histopathologic features of a malignant onychopapilloma. A 71-year-old male presented to our outpatient clinic for a stable, asymptomatic lesion on his left middle finger that had been present for 2 years. Prior nail clipping histopathology showed nail plate thinning with subungual abnormal onychocytes. Clinical examination revealed a 2-mm-wide streak of longitudinal xanthonychia extending to the proximal nail fold, with distal hyperkeratosis and onycholysis. Onychoscopy showed irregular longitudinal nail plate ridging with scattered punctate hemorrhagic foci. An excisional nail unit biopsy demonstrated cellular atypia of the nail bed epithelium, matrix metaplasia, longitudinal abnormal onychocytes, increased Ki-67 staining, and negative HPV immunoperoxidase staining, confirming the diagnosis of malignant onychopapilloma.

The relationship between the incidence of bovine teat papillomatosis and the activity of haematophagous flies was investigated in Japan. A total of 15,737 flies consisting of 33 species were collected by dry ice-baited mosquito net (DMN) trap and a sweep net from udders of cattle. Simulium aokii (Takahasi) of Simuliidae (black flies) was the predominant species, followed by S. tobetsuense Ono and S. iwatense (Shiraki). Simulium aokii had the highest peak in October, followed by September. Numbers of blood spots from the bites per teat in nulliparous cattle were significantly correlated with numbers of S. aokii collected by DMN trap. Numbers of teats with warts and spots of blood from the bites per teat were significantly more abundant in anterior teats than posterior teats. The average incidence of teat papillomatosis in nulliparous cattle was significantly higher than that in parous cattle, and the highest incidence by month was in May, followed by April. Although bovine papillomavirus (BPV) DNA was not detected in flies examined, the presence of black flies and blood spots from their bites were associated with subsequent high incidence of growing warts. In particular, it would pay to give attention to species such as S. aokii that severely attack udders in the present locality. Further investigations for the detection of BPV DNA from flies parasitizing on teats are needed.

Human papillomavirus (HPV) is associated with infection of different tissues, such as the cervix, anus, vagina, penis, vulva, oropharynx, throat, tonsils, back of the tongue, skin, the lungs, among other tissues. HPV infection may or may not be associated with the development of cancer, where HPVs not related to cancer are defined as low-risk HPVs and are associated with papillomatosis disease. In contrast, high-risk HPVs (HR-HPVs) are associated with developing cancers in areas that HR-HPV infects, such as the cervix. In general, infection of HPV target cells is regulated by specific molecules and receptors that induce various conformational changes of HPV capsid proteins, allowing activation of HPV endocytosis mechanisms and the arrival of the HPV genome to the human cell nucleus. After the transcription of the HPV genome, the HPV genome duplicates exponentially to lodge in a new HPV capsid, inducing the process of exocytosis of HPV virions and thus releasing a new HPV viral particle with a high potential of infection. This infection process allows the HPV viral life cycle to conclude and enables the growth of HPV virions. Understanding the entire infection process has been a topic that researchers have studied and developed for decades; however, there are many things to still understand about HPV infection. A thorough understanding of these HPV infection processes will allow new potential treatments for HPV-associated cancer and papillomatosis. This chapter focuses on HPV infection, the process that will enable HPV to complete its HPV life cycle, emphasizing the critical role of different molecules in allowing this infection and its completion during the HPV viral life cycle.

BACKGROUND: Data on dermatological manifestations of Costello syndrome (CS) remain heterogeneous and lack in validated description. OBJECTIVES: To describe the dermatological manifestations of CS; compare them with the literature findings; assess those discriminating CS from other RASopathies, including cardiofaciocutaneous syndrome (CFCS) and the main types of Noonan syndrome (NS); and test for dermatological phenotype-genotype correlations. METHODS: We performed a 10-year, large, prospective, multicentric, collaborative dermatological and genetic study. RESULTS: Thirty-one patients were enrolled. Hair abnormalities were ubiquitous, including wavy or curly hair and excessive eyebrows, respectively in 68% and 56%. Acral excessive skin (AES), papillomas and keratotic papules (PKP), acanthosis nigricans (AN), palmoplantar hyperkeratosis (PPHK) and 'cobblestone' papillomatous papules of the upper lip (CPPUL), were noted respectively in 84%, 61%, 65%, 55% and 32%. Excessive eyebrows, PKP, AN, CCPUL and AES best differentiated CS from CFCS and NS. Multiple melanocytic naevi (>50) may constitute a new marker of attenuated CS associated with intragenic duplication in HRAS. Oral acitretin may be highly beneficial for therapeutic management of PPHK. No significant dermatological phenotype-genotype correlation was determined between patients with and without HRAS c.34G>A (p.G12S). CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: This validated phenotypic characterization of a large number of patients with CS will allow future researchers to make a positive diagnosis, and to differentiate CS from CFCS and NS.

BACKGROUND: Head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC) are frequently diagnosed in advanced stages, which limits therapeutic options and results in persistently poor patient outcomes. The aim of this study was to use liquid-based swab cytology (LBC) in combination with dual immunocytochemical detection of migration and proliferation markers Sec62 and Ki67 in order to allow non-invasive early detection of HNSCC as well as to analyse the diagnostic validity of this method for predicting the malignancy of suspicious oral lesions. METHODS: 104 HNSCC patients and 28 control patients, including healthy patients (n = 17), papilloma (n = 1) and leukoplakia patients (n = 10), were included in this study. For all patients, an LBC swab followed by simultaneous immunocytochemical detection of Sec62 and Ki67 was performed. Immunocytochemical as well as cytopathological results were correlated with histological diagnoses and clinical findings. RESULTS: All HNSCC patients (100%) showed dual Sec62/Ki67 positivity, and all control patients except for the papilloma patient were negative for Sec62/Ki67 (96.4%), resulting in a 100% sensitivity and 96.4% specificity of Sec62/Ki67 dual stain for non-invasive detection of HNSCC. The positive predictive value was 99% and the negative predictive value was 100%. Sec62 expression levels showed a positive correlation with tumour de-differentiation (p = 0.0489). CONCLUSION: Simultaneous immunocytochemical detection of Sec62/Ki67 using LBC represents a promising non-invasive and easy-to-apply tool for the early detection of HNSCC in routine clinical practice. This novel technique can help to avoid incisional biopsies and reduce the frequency with which general anaesthesia is used in diagnostic procedures in patients with suspicious oral lesions.

BACKGROUND: With advancements in medicine and economy, it would be expected that there will be changes in the clinical characteristics of upper respiratory papillomatosis. The aim of this study was to examine the current clinical characteristics of upper respiratory papillomatosis, as there are no recent data in the literature. METHODS: The medical records of 1894 patients with upper respiratory papillomatosis were retrospectively reviewed. Data extracted included clinical features, laryngoscopy images, and surgical procedure data. RESULTS: The upper frequency of upper respiratory papillomatosis in the oropharynx was 69.1 %, and in the larynx was held 28.9 %. The overall postoperative relapse rate was 2.4 %. The relapse rate of laryngeal papillomatosis was 6.5 %. Approximately 2.6 % of cases were in children. All postoperative recurrences in children were laryngeal, and the recurrence rate was 30.4 %. CONCLUSION: The oropharynx has the highest frequency of upper respiratory papillomatosis. The larynx, however, has the highest rate of postoperative recurrence. Compared to adults, children are more likely to experience a postoperative recurrence.

Patients with pathological nipple discharge (PND) often undergo local surgical procedures because standard radiologic imaging fails to identify the underlying cause. MicroRNA (MiRNA) expression analysis of nipple fluid holds potential for distinguishing between breast diseases. This study aimed to compare miRNA expression levels between nipple fluids from patients with PND to identify possible relevant miRNAs that could differentiate between intraductal papillomas and no abnormalities in the breast tissue. Nipple fluid samples from patients with PND without radiological and pathological suspicion for malignancy who underwent a ductoscopy procedure were analyzed. We used univariate and multivariate regression analyses to identify nipple fluid miRNAs differing between pathologically confirmed papillomas and breast tissue without abnormalities. A total of 27 nipple fluid samples from patients with PND were included for miRNA expression analysis. Out of the 22 miRNAs examined, only miR-145-5p was significantly differentially expressed (upregulated) in nipple fluid from patients with an intraductal papilloma compared to patients showing no breast abnormalities (OR 4.76, p = 0.046), with a diagnostic accuracy of 92%. miR-145-5p expression in nipple fluid differs for intraductal papillomas and breast tissue without abnormalities and, therefore, has potential as a diagnostic marker to signal presence of papillomas in PND patients. However, further refinement and validation in clinical trials are necessary to establish its clinical applicability.

Respiratory papilloma is a relatively common benign tumor of the respiratory tract, and a few patients may develop malignant changes. The disease has an insidious onset and lacks specific clinical manifestations, and its manifestations are closely related to the growth mode, location and size of the tumor. It can involve multiple parts, such as the larynx, trachea, bronchus, and lung parenchyma, which cause coughing, hoarseness, dysphonia, and, in severe cases, may lead to obstruction of the respiratory tract. At present, the treatment of respiratory papilloma lacks standardization, and there is no effective method to cure the disease. Surgery remains the main treatment for alleviating patients' symptoms and preventing airway obstruction. However, due to the high recurrence rate of respiratory papilloma, multiple surgeries are often needed, which reduces the quality of life of patients and increases their disease burden and economic burden. Bevacizumab, a vascular endothelial growth factor-binding antibody inhibitor, is a promising adjuvant treatment modality that shows good potential for reducing symptoms and the frequency of surgery. This article aimed to review the efficacy and safety of bevacizumab for the treatment of respiratory papilloma and discuss the differences and efficacy of the systemic application and intralesional injection of bevacizumab for the treatment of respiratory papilloma.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the incidence of laryngeal papillomatosis (LP) and LP recurrence in adults and to determine the risk factors for the development of LP recurrence in adults in Moscow. To solve the tasks set, a survey of patients carried out, including the collection of complaints and anamnesis, a standard examination of the ENT organs, an assessment of the condition of the larynx, and a histological examination. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We conducted a retrospective analysis of the case histories of 299 patients with LP observed and treated at the Sverzhevsky Research and Clinical Institute of Otorhinolaryngology in the period 2010-2020. RESULTS: On average, over the entire study period, the prevalence of PG was 17.80%. It was found that out of 299 patients, 69.6% (n=208) had a relapse of LP. Papilloma of the larynx were more often localized in the glottis. 275 (92%) patients had a widespread form of LP. LP recurrences were significantly more common in women and in patients with an existing cicatricle process in the larynx. The relapse rate was higher in non-smokers (73.5% vs 47.8%; p<0.001). Although the recurrence rate was higher in patients with non-voice occupations (70.6% vs. 52.9%), there was no statistically significant association between relapses and the vocal professions (p=0.125). CONCLUSION: As a result of the study, a number of risk factors for laryngeal papillomatosis recurrent have been identified, and their study should be continued.

INTRODUCTION: A healthy, 1,5 year old female wild boar (Sus scrofa) was shoot in a hunting district in Switzerland on June 22, 2023. The meat inspection revealed noticeable skin changes on all four distal extremities which were described histologically as multifocal epidermal hyperplasia and moderate orthokeratotic hyperkeratosis. The rest of the animal body, the organs and the lymph nodes were without any obvious lesions. The diagnosis of papilloma virus-associated exophytically growing papillomas was made. The venison was approved as fit for human consumption.
INTRODUCTION: Un sanglier femelle (Sus scrofa) en bonne santé, âgé d'un an et demi, a été abattu dans le nord de la Suisse le 22 juin 2023. L'inspection de la viande a révélé des modifications cutanées notables sur les quatre extrémités distales des membres qui ont été décrites histologiquement comme une hyperplasie épidermique multifocale et une hyperkératose orthokératosique modérée. Le reste du corps de l'animal, les organes et les ganglions lymphatiques ne présentaient aucune lésion évidente. Le diagnostic de papillomes à croissance exophytique associés à des papillomavirus a été posé. La venaison a été déclarée propre à la consommation humaine.

The family Papillomaviridae includes a plethora of viral species infecting virtually all vertebrates excluding amphibians, with astonishing impact on human and animal health. Although more than 250 species have been described in humans, the total number of papillomaviruses (PVs) discovered in animals does not reach up to this number. In animals, PV infections are mostly asymptomatic or can cause variable clinical conditions ranging from self-limiting papillomas and other cutaneous and mucosal benign lesions to cancer. Most of animal PV types have been discovered in cattle, dogs, horses, and cats with other farm host species remaining overlooked. In particular, the number of PV types so far identified in sheep is limited. This paper comprehensively reviews ovine PVs features, including viral taxonomy and evolution; genome organization; viral tropism and pathogenesis; macroscopical features and histopathological patterns, as well as available diagnostics tools. Data are critically presented and discussed in terms of impact on veterinary and public health. The development of future dedicated research is also discussed.

Solitary pulmonary papillomas (SPPs) are rare lung neoplasms. Histologically, SPP is classified into three subtypes, and mixed squamous and glandular papilloma (MP) is the rarest subtype. Although SPPs are considered benign tumors, there have been several reports on the synchronous malignant transformation in SPPs. An 82-year-old asymptomatic man was referred to our hospital for further examination of a 2.2 cm-sized left lung tumor. Pathology of bronchoscopic specimens showed the possibility of pulmonary papilloma but did not reveal any malignancy. The patient complained of bloody sputum during the eighth month after the initial visit. The size of the lesion had increased to 4.3 cm. These data suggested the existence of malignancy, and the patient underwent an operation. Histologically, the tumor was composed of fibrovascular cores and papillomatous fronds lined by pseudostratified columnar cells and mucin-filled goblet cells. Keratinizing squamous epithelium was also observed. Overall, the diagnosis of MP was obtained by fundamental histology. In addition, a solid part beneath mild atypical squamous epithelia, which was composed of malignant-appearing squamous cells and spindle-shaped atypical cells, was observed. The spindle portion was positive for cytokeratin AE1/AE3 and vimentin, and focally positive for alpha-smooth muscle actin (αSMA). The final diagnosis was pulmonary pleomorphic carcinoma (PPC) arising in the MP. Only two cases have been reported for atypical spindle tumor cells that are found in MP or bronchiolar adenoma/ciliated muconodular papillary tumor (BA/CMPT), which has histologically similar features to MP. This is the second case report of PPC arising in MP.

Papillomaviruses can cause benign or malignant proliferations on the host's skin and mucous membranes. Recent genetic studies have identified many new papillomavirus types. In this study, molecular detection and typing was performed on papilloma samples from eight hair goats with teat papillomatosis. The papilloma samples were tested with degenerate (FAP59/FAP64,MY09/MY11) and type-specific primers. One sample was positive with degenerate (MY09/MY11) and two samples were positive with Caprahircus papillomavirus-1 type specific primers. The MY09/MY11 primer sequence indicated identity to the closest Ovine papillomavirus type-2 (77.9%). The ChPV-1 primer sequence was similar to the closest ChPV-1 (99.4%). Investigating papillomavirus types in different animal species is important for determining the evolution, prevalence, host range, and interspecies transmission potential of papillomaviruses, and to indicate suitable therapeutics for later development.

Background: Juvenile papillomatosis (JP) of the breast is a rare and benign proliferative disorder affecting young women. The affected patients tend to have an increased risk of breast cancer development during follow-up. Objective: This article aims to highlight a rare entity of breast disease, that harbor risk of breast cancer. Case Presentation: Here, we present 2 cases of JP in young females; the first case is a 13 year-old presented with spontaneous nipple discharge, while the other patient is a 24 year-old presented with a right breast lump. Both patients had a total excision of the breast lesions, revealing JP at histology. Discussion: Juvenile Papillomatosis is considered a clinicopathological entity and is usually misdiagnosed as fibroadenoma clinically and radiologically, which requires histological correlation. The histologic findings are well-defined (hyperplasia, papillomatosis, and multiple cysts with foamy histiocytes).The controversy in management between surgery and observation is because of insufficient knowledge about the direct relationship between JP and subsequent cancer. Conclusion: Considering the risk of developing breast cancer in JP, enrolling patients and their families in a close follow-up and surveillance program is crucial.
