HPV Infection: Or something else? Differential Diagnosis

Cardiovascular (I00-I99).

Skin and subcutaneous (L00-L99).

  • Ectopic sebaceous glands
  • Fibromas
  • Papillomatous pigmented nevus cell nevi
  • Lichen ruber planus (nodular lichen)
  • Nevi (pigment mark, often called “mole” or “birthmark” in common parlance).
  • Seborrheic warts

Infectious and parasitic diseases (A00-B99).

Neoplasms – tumor diseases (C00-D48).

  • Bowenoid papulosis (Condylomata plana) – skin infection with human papillomavirus (HPV) types 16 and 18 in the genital area, resulting in characteristic papular (cotyledonous) skin lesions; histologically (by fine tissue) indistinguishable from grade III intraepithelial neoplasia; usually spontaneous regression.
  • Erythroplasia Queyrat – shiny or erosive skin changes, mainly occurring on the genitals, which is considered precancerous (precancerous).
  • Fibromas – benign skin tumors
  • Malignant (malignant) tumors, unspecified.
  • Melanoma – black skin cancer
  • Bowen’s disease – precancerous (precancerous) squamous cell carcinoma of the skin; clinical picture: single sharply demarcated but irregularly shaped, broad red-scaly skin lesions erythrosquamous or psoriasiform plaques (size varies from millimeters to decimeters); skin lesions are similar to psoriasis, but usually occurs only a single focus.
  • Penile intraepithelial neoplasms (VIN, PIN).
  • Verrucous carcinoma – wart-like malignant tumor.
  • Vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia (VIN, PIN).

Further

  • Heterotopic sebaceous glands – sebaceous glands located in unusual places.
  • Papillae coronae glandis (anomaly with papillae occurring on the penis); equivalent in the female genital area as papillomatosis labialis vulvae.
