Papilloma

Jump To

Papilloma is a benign epithelial tumor that grows outward. On the eyelid, it can grow on eyelids and eyelid margins and can impact people of all ages. One of the most common risk factors for conjunctival papilloma is infection with human papilloma virus (HPV). HPV is a sexually transmitted disease that causes genital warts and cervical cancer. Other conditions that cause papilloma are choroid plexus papilloma (CPP) and pearly penile papules of the penis.

However, if the papilloma is causing irritation, obstructs vision, or is cosmetically unacceptable, surgical excision is a viable removal option. At Idaho Eyelid and Facial Plastic Surgery, our oculufacial plastic surgeons can diagnose and treat eyelid papillomas.
