Overview

Physical examination findings depends on the anatomic region of involvement. The cutaneous lesions are warts and mostly presents as exophytic papules on fingers and lateral surface of the hands. Intraepithelial neoplasia is the most important type of genital involvement and in suspected women, the entire genitalia must be inspected by speculum with acetic acid application in order to find the lesions. Condylomata acuminata is another type of anogenital involvement which presents as a sessile or pedunculated lesion in anogenital area. Respiratory tract may be involved during neonatal passage through birth canal and manifests as stridor and even respiratory distress.

Physical examination

Cutaneous lesions

Warts

They are well demarcated, exophytic, hyperkeratotic papules or plaques with a rough surface that are usually located on the fingers or lateral surface of the hands that could be single or in groups.

Epidermodysplasia verruciformis

Characterized by the growth of scaly macules and papules, that may become hypertrophic and coalescent particularly on the hands and upper trunk in children.[2]

Anogenital lesions

Intraepithelial neoplasia

Digital palpation of the vagina to assess for thickening or irregularity of the vaginal wall and a thorough colposcopic assessment of the entire vagina must be perform, however physical examination of patients with early stage is usually unremarkable, but after the insertion of a speculum and the application of acetic acid, lesions will appear as raised or flat white, granular epithelium with sharply demarcated borders and may contain areas of vascular punctation.[3]

Condylomata acuminata

Its shape ranges from smooth flattened papule to a verrucous, papilliform appearance, may be skin-colored, brown or whitish, may also present as pedunculated or broad-based papillomas up to several centimeters in diameter or as large confluent plaques. Female and male genital area and perianal may be affected.[4]

Other mucosal surfaces

Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis

Features benign exophytic laryngeal papillomas. Hoarseness, stridor and respiratory distress are classic triad in this condition.[5]

Conjunctival papillomas

Present with red eye and a fleshy lesion usually arising from the bulbar conjunctiva.

Mucosal Assessment With Acetic Acid

  • Application of 3%–5% acetic acid, which might cause affected areas to turn white, has been used by certain providers to detect genital mucosa infected with HPV.[6]
  • The routine use of this procedure to detect mucosal changes attributed to HPV infection is not recommended because the results do not influence clinical management.[6]
