papilloma
Let an agent explain papillomas and their kinds in general terms from pathology and clinical sources, describe causes including HPV, distinguish benign papillomas from cancers, and route personal questions to clinicians.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent explain papillomas and their kinds in general terms from pathology and clinical sources, describe causes including HPV, distinguish benign papillomas from cancers, and route personal questions to clinicians.
A benign epithelial tumour that grows outward in finger-like or nipple-like projections from skin or mucous membranes, including skin papillomas, oral papillomas, inverted papillomas of the nose and sinuses that grow inward, breast duct papillomas and papillomatosis, and papillomas of the bladder and larynx, many caused by human papillomavirus; papillomas are usually harmless but some, such as inverted papillomas and certain HPV-related lesions, carry a risk of malignant change.
What it is for: Not applicable; a tumour type.
It can be explain kinds and causes; relay clinical significance; distinguish from cancers; route personal questions.
Distinguishing features
Finger-like projections
Epithelial origin
Often HPV-related
Usually benign
What it looks like
A small wart-like or frond-like growth.
Physical character
HPV types: over 200 count
inverted papilloma malignant transformation: about 5-15 percent - estimates
How it is recognised
Benign outward-growing epithelial tumour
Skin, oral, inverted, breast duct, bladder and laryngeal papillomas; papillomatosis
Warts are common skin papillomas; polyps are broader growths; carcinoma is malignant

- How should clinical guidelines be linked?
- The registry entry has merged aliases naming site-specific forms; should they be split off?
