Pediatr Infect Dis J. 2016 Feb;35(2):e65-8. doi: 10.1097/INF.0000000000000978.

Abstract

Oral human papillomavirus infection is rare in children, but the presence of a villous lesion with slow but continuous growth concerns parents, who need information and therapeutic solutions from the physician. All these aspects are discussed based on a case report of a 9-year-old child with an oral human papillomavirus infection.
