Nasal verrucae vulgaris: an uncommon finding
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 11
Abstract
Verrucae vulgaris, also known as common warts, affect approximately 10% of the general population and account for approximately 70% of cutaneous warts. They are caused most commonly by human papillomavirus (HPV) types 1, 2, 4, 27, 40 and 57 that are trophic to human skin. The most common site of occurrence is the hand. The occurrence on the nose is uncommon. The peak incidence is between 12 and 16 years of age. The occurrence in an elderly individual is rare. We herewith report a case of nasal verrucae vulgaris that occurred on the nose of an 80-year-old woman. To our knowledge, the occurrence of nasal verrucae vulgaris in an elderly individual has not been previously reported.
