Recalcitrant oral squamous cell papilloma lesions in two HIV-infected patients successfully treated with topical imiquimod

[摘要] Squamous cell papilloma is a benign mucosal disease associated with human papillomavirus. Its presence in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients has rarely been reported. Therapeutic modalities for oral squamous cell papilloma have limited success and recurrences are frequent in HIV-infected subjects. Imiquimod, is a topical immunomodulator successfully used in some human papillomavirus-related oral lesions. However, its use for oral squamous cell papillomas in HIV-infected individuals has never been described.
