Oral papillomatosis in immunocompromised patients: A case series of kidney transplantation recipients and myelodysplastic syndrome

Solitary papilloma is a human papillomavirus (HPV) induced benign indolent epithelial tumor with limited growth, whereas papillomatosis is an entirely different story. Papillomatosis needs attention due to its aggressive and recurrent clinical progress with risks of dysplastic and malignant transformation. Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP) has a high prevalence of dysplasia and reports of transformation to carcinoma-ex-papillomatosis, especially when associated with low risk HPV type 11.
