- mature benign neoplasms developing from cells of the surface epithelium. When viewed on the mucous membrane, single or multiple painless growths on the leg of a soft-elastic consistency of a pale pink or whitish color are determined. The general condition is not disturbed. The diagnosis of "papilloma of the oral cavity" is made on the basis of complaints, anamnesis of the disease, data of clinical and histological research methods. Treatment of oral papillomas is surgical - the neoplasm is excised within healthy tissues. When a viral etiology is detected, antiviral, immunomodulatory therapy is prescribed.
Oral papilloma is the most commonly diagnosed true benign tumor from stratified squamous epithelium. The main group of patients are women (in 60% of cases) at the age of about 40 years. In 20% of cases, papillomas of the oral cavity are detected in adolescents. Among children, benign education occurs in age group from 7 to 12 years old. In girls, oral papillomas are diagnosed 1.9 times more often than in boys. In adults, in most cases, single papillomas are detected, while in childhood papillomatosis (multiple neoplasms) prevails. In 50% of the examined patients, oral papillomas are localized on the tongue. Human papillomavirus (6, 11 types) causes the formation of papillomas in 55-70% of cases.
Benign tumors of the superficial epithelium of the oral cavity in most cases result from exposure to the human papillomavirus - HPV-6, 11 types. Infection occurs through direct contact with the patient. A neoplasm develops against the background of neutralization of the activity of tumor suppressor genes. The pathogenetic mechanism is launched after the HPV groups penetrate and infect the cells of the basal layer of the epithelium, as a result of which the regulatory processes of cell proliferation are disrupted.
Local predisposing factors are micro-lesions of the mucous membrane, the depth of which reaches the basal layer. For the development of the infectious process, the introduction of single viral particles is sufficient. The process of reproduction of daughter DNA molecules on the basis of the parental one occurs exclusively in the basal layer of the integumentary epithelium. As a result of infection, the mechanism of cell differentiation is disrupted. Since HPV is a weak antigen, the rates of endogenous interferon synthesis are reduced. There is a deficiency of cellular immunity.
Multiple papillomas of the oral cavity result from chronic damage to the mucous membrane by the sharp edges of decayed teeth, unpolished base of a removable prosthesis. In children with a shortened frenum of the tongue, papillomas of the oral cavity are often diagnosed as a result of injury to the frenum by the lower incisors.
Microscopically, oral papilloma is a tumor consisting of highly differentiated stratified squamous epithelium with signs of keratinization. The integrity of its own membrane, cell polarity, and complexity are preserved. Violated ratio structural components epithelium and stroma. In some places, focal inflammatory infiltration can be observed.
Surgical treatment of oral papilloma. The neoplasm is surgically excised within healthy tissues. Methods of electrocoagulation, cryosurgery, sclerotherapy are rarely used, since after their implementation it is impossible to conduct a histological examination of the removed material. With multiple papillomatous neoplasms, a combined technique is used: the largest number of grouped papillomas are excised with a scalpel, the removal of single neoplasms is performed by the method of electrocoagulation.
With oral papilloma of viral etiology, along with surgical treatment, antiviral and immunomodulatory therapy is prescribed. A drug based on inosine, a synthetic derivative of purines, has pronounced antiviral and immunostimulating effects.
As a result of the high mitotic activity of the true papilloma of the oral cavity after surgical treatment, there is a high risk of tumor re-formation. If the neoplasm has arisen as a result of mucosal trauma, the elimination of the local irritating factor nullifies the likelihood of subsequent relapses.
25.05.2017Papillomas in the mouth are a consequence of infection with the papilloma virus. 90 out of a hundred people are carriers of HPV. In most cases, the infection does not manifest itself in any way. Immunity restrains the virus. There is no health hazard.
Papillomatosis or proliferation of papillomas begins if the immune system weakens, and the body's own defenses fail.
This can happen if:
The human papillomavirus in the body, weakened by one of these reasons, begins to act. The growths can appear on the skin or mucous membranes. In some cases, HPV affects the mouth.
Papilloma in the mouth has a bumpy surface, sometimes similar to cauliflower.
Papillomas, warts, condylomas that affect the oral mucosa are usually located on the tongue, frenulum, on the palate, and the inner surface of the lips. They represent a convex formation on a thin stalk in diameter from 1 mm to several cm. The color of the papilloma coincides with the color of the oral cavity.It is pink, maybe a tone darker or lighter than the surrounding tissues. The surface of the build-up is rough to the touch; over time, it hardens.
You most likely have papillomas in your mouth if:
A small amount of papillomas in the mouth does not pose a threat to health, they are easily removed. With the right antiviral therapy, relapse is avoided.
In most cases, papilloma in the oral cavity is a benign formation. The danger can be represented by multiple papillomas, which are actively growing. There is a risk of converting them to cancer.
Signs of the transformation of papilloma into a malignant tumor:
If any neoplasm is found in the oral cavity, you should immediately seek medical help.It is not the wart that poses a health threat, but the virus that caused it. Science knows 200 types of HPV. Papillomatosis of the oral mucosa is a consequence of infection with strains 2, 6, 11, 18, 30. HPV 18 is a type of virus with high oncogenic risk.
In addition to the oral cavity, papillomas can affect the external and internal genital organs. This threatens pathological processes in the cervix, including oncology.Direct growths in the oral cavity can be more or less dangerous, depending on the area of their localization.
If the dishes intended for public use are not sufficiently processed, there is a risk of contracting HPV.
Growths can form on the gums, palate, inner lips, tongue, throat, larynx, tonsils. Papillomas in the areas of the oral mucosa, which can be reached with the tongue, in most cases are not dangerous. They cause inconvenience while eating, can be injured, and also react to temperature changes, but nothing more. The situation is worse with formations in the throat, larynx and tonsils. Papillomatosis in this area may go unnoticed. The growths may progress and be detected already at dangerous stages... This disease is harmful vocal cords and also makes breathing and swallowing difficult. It will be difficult to treat papillomas.
Papillomas on the gums, when it comes to hard-to-reach places most often found by the dentist. Such formations occur in older people. Poor hygiene when using a denture is named among the reasons.
It happens that papilloma appears on the lip. Here you can talk about a cosmetic defect. Education does not pose a serious danger.
Laryngeal papillomatosis occurs in childhood. Growths in the mouth of a child can lead to serious consequences associated with bronchial disease. If children complain of shortness of breath and difficulty breathing, voice problems, hoarseness, coughing, this is a reason to see a doctor.
Removing the papilloma in the mouth will not relieve the patient of HPV, but will help prevent the development of the disease.
The first rule of treating oral papillomatosis is that the removal of papillomas on your own is prohibited. None folk remedy does not guarantee a complete cure, and what is important - it can contribute to the transformation of papilloma into a malignant formation. You can cure the disease with a doctor.
Before removing the formation, the oral cavity must be sanitized. This means that the patient needs to cure caries on all teeth, fill them, deal with the inflammatory processes of the gums, periodontitis, periodontal disease, treat the mucous membrane with an antiseptic.
To remove papilloma in the mouth, treatment is used the same as for removing papilloma in other parts of the body, except for the method of freezing with liquid nitrogen. Chemical compounds in a humid environment can behave unpredictably and cause uncontrolled cell division, leading to the degeneration of a tumor into cancer.
Thus, there are two safe and painless methods for removing papillomas:
There is a danger of degeneration of the tumor, often before removal, a piece of papilloma is sent for histological and cytological analyzes. These studies can determine the type of HPV and the presence of malignant cells.
After analyzes and procedures, the patient is prescribed interferons and vitamins to strengthen the immune system. Patients with HPV are shown a healthy lifestyle. The virus does not respond to treatment. It remains in the blood. A person will always be a carrier. But you can achieve lasting remission by monitoring your health.
The formation of papillomas is an unpleasant consequence of infection with the human papillomavirus. He already lives in you. PCR analysis will help you find out. This study will identify the presence of a virus in the body, as well as determine its type - high or low oncogenic hazard.
If you are the lucky one, one of ten, who does not have a single HPV strain, in order not to catch it in the future, follow the recommendations:
If the virus is already in your bloodstream, it is important to know which of the 200 known types it belongs to: whether it can cause cancer. If HPV of low oncogenicity has settled in your body, the same rules are suitable for you as for an uninfected person. Remember, having one HPV strain does not protect you from others.
If your virus is one of the dangerous ones, you need to regularly visit a doctor, get tested and follow his recommendations in order to keep the papillomavirus under control.
Carriers of the virus need to closely monitor oral hygiene: go to the dentist every six months, treat caries in a timely manner, brush your teeth twice a day and try not to injure the mucous membrane.
One of the types of HPV that can lead to papillomatosis (oral papilloma) is 18. There is a vaccine for it. If you have a daughter, take her for her first vaccination after age 9. The second must be done before 25. This will protect it from the most terrible types of human papillomavirus, from which not only growths appear in the mouth. The main danger of the virus is cervical cancer.
Papilloma in the mouth is a rare occurrence. Warts can occur on the tongue, the inside of the cheeks, lips and gums. Pathological formations in the oral cavity are very inconvenient. They interfere with food intake, impair speech and hurt. A person constantly feels the presence of something foreign, this causes psychological discomfort. Many people have a desire to pull out an annoying wart on their own. But this cannot be done. Firstly, this is a very painful process and it should take place only under local anesthesia, and secondly, such actions will lead to serious consequences.
All warts, including those located in the mouth, are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). The mouth is affected by strains of the disease under the numbers: 2, 6, 1, 30. Most often, papillomas in the mouth affect people over the age of 30.
HPV cannot be killed by high or low temperatures, everyone does not take it available funds processing, so it captured almost 70% of the world's population. The virus can be invisible in the human body for a very long time. The only factor holding it back is strong immunity. As soon as the defense mechanisms of the infected are weakened, ideal conditions to activate the pathogen. The main symptom of his awakening is the appearance of warts. The place of their localization can be the gum, lip, root and tip of the tongue, cheek.
Other reasons for the activation of the virus can be the following:
You can become infected with HPV:
There are times when papillomas affect the oral mucosa of a child. This can be explained by the fact that the baby licked an infected object, or was infected from the mother during his stay in the womb. Warts of this type are very dangerous as they can cover Airways infant, and this can lead to death or disability.
Pathological neoplasms sometimes appear on the inner side of the lip. Such papillomas have the shape of a light-colored nipple. Sometimes growths form entire colonies. In this case, they will look like cauliflower. A wart on the lip makes life very difficult. They look unsightly and interfere with eating and drinking. 
If a problem occurs, it is necessary to contact a physician, as a growth on the lip can be serious. Due to frequent trauma, a benign neoplasm can develop into a malignant one. The doctor will prescribe treatment or advise on the best way to remove the wart. An oncologist, dentist or ENT can choose the right therapy.
A wart on the gums can occur with kidney and liver problems. Also, frequent sore throats can be the cause. If you use a brush that is too hard to brush your teeth, you can damage the gums, and a small wound will form. With weakened immunity, papilloma begins to grow at the site of the wound.
Neoplasms may differ from each other in type. Doctors distinguish between the following types:
Simple warts look like small balls, sometimes they can be flattened. Their hallmark is that they can suddenly disappear on their own, as they appear.
Flat papillomas are always the same color from the oral mucosa. As a rule, they appear as a result of trauma to the gums.
Condylomas are held on a thin, barely visible pedicle. They have sharp ends and a heterogeneous structure. If warts are damaged, it will grow rapidly and hurt when pressed.
The danger of papillomas in the mouth is that neoplasms can lead to oncology.
Most often, papillomas in the tongue are formed when the rules for caring for the oral cavity are violated. The reason for their appearance is often intimate contact (oral sex) with an infected person. Poor, irregular nutrition and frequent stress can activate the type of human papillomavirus that leads to the appearance of papillomas on the tongue.
Usually, warts are located on the sides and tip of the tongue, but they can occur all over or even underneath. Rarely, but warts are still formed on the root of the tongue. According to their types, the growths that affect the tongue belong to warts and flat papillomas. 
There are times when given view papillomas form on the cheek. It is the inner side that becomes the place of localization. Such warts can also be very annoying to their owner. First, a person will constantly feel something in his mouth. You can accidentally bite a bump on your cheek while eating, and this is very painful. Due to such an injury, the mucous membrane can become inflamed and even fester. It is urgent to get rid of these warts.
Treatment of growths in the tongue has a number of features. Warts cannot be burned out, and the entire oral cavity must be cleaned up.
As a rule, a person does not know about the presence of papillomas in his throat, but they can be easily detected during an appointment with a doctor. Such warts do not have pronounced symptoms. Often, a mild sore throat that occurs due to growths is attributed to a cold.
The presence of papillomas becomes obvious when they reach large sizes. It is problematic for a person to eat and drink. There is a feeling that a lump is stuck in the throat. If the wart is injured, then the patient begins to cough up blood.
Papillomas in the throat are very dangerous. The growths interfere with the full functioning of the respiratory tract, because of this, the person does not receive the required volume of air. Oxygen starvation can lead to brain and heart problems. This condition is very harmful for a pregnant woman. Lack of air can cause brain cysts in the fetus, provoke intracranial pressure. Symptoms of papillomas in the throat in a child include frequent coughing, hoarse voice and laryngeal edema.
Warts can occur on the tonsils, then they will be the cause of tonsillitis, which usually turns into chronic form... Due to these growths, violations occur in the speech apparatus, and food intake is difficult.
Doctors believe that papillomas in the oral cavity cannot be ignored. They need to be treated. Many experts advise to resort to removal. Fortunately, modern medicine can offer a huge selection of methods for eliminating warts.
Common ways to remove papillomas:
The safest is the laser type of excision. The procedure is quick and almost bloodless, recovery is carried out in a short time.
Freezing damaged areas is called cryodestruction. Liquid nitrogen is used for the procedure. After such manipulation, no scars remain.
Effectively eliminates papillomas with a radio wave knife. After using it, there are no scars or other defects.
Excision of a wart with an electric current is widespread. Certain electrical radiation affects the surface of the build-up and destroys it.
Some types of papillomas can not only be removed, but also treated. This process should include:
There are many drugs that solve the problem of papillomas at all levels at once. For example, Papilight drops put HPV into a dormant state and destroy growths. The medicine is taken orally, and also treated with infected skin areas. The product is of plant origin. It consists entirely of herbs and essential oils... It contains celandine, Jerusalem artichoke and many other natural ingredients. Papillux drops have a similar effect.
Among the means for external use, it is worth mentioning separately about the Viferon ointment. It destroys the virus molecules and dries up the papilloma itself.
The list of drugs similar to Viferon includes:
In ancient times, warts "whispered", tied them with woolen threads, read the conspiracy, then threw out the rope near the gate. After a couple of days, the papillomas disappeared. However, the popular experience is not limited to conspiracies alone.
An effective remedy for combating papillomas is garlic. It is a powerful antiviral agent for fighting HPV and strengthening the immune system. In order to remove warts from the mouth, it is necessary to prepare a rinse solution. You need three large cloves of garlic. They need to be poured with a glass of boiling water and wait two hours. Rinse after every meal. You can also cut the garlic into thin slices and apply them to the wart. It is important to carry out this procedure up to 8 times a day. 
A similar recipe with raw potatoes. The root vegetable is grated, and the papillomas are smeared with the resulting mixture.
You can make a homemade healing cocktail. Lemon juice (5 fruits), two glasses of liquid honey, 5 pieces of garlic are mixed in one container. Everything is grinded in a blender and closed with a tight lid. After five days, the mixture will be ready. They eat it in 1 small spoon every day. The course of treatment is 2 months.
A change in the mucous membrane of the oral cavity, inflammation and growths, a person notices almost immediately. The discomfort is aggravated by exposure to hot food, rubbing with dentures. It can be a papilloma in the mouth - a tumor-like formation on the mucous membrane. It is important to mitigate as much as possible the conditions that predispose to malignant degeneration of the inflamed and overgrown epithelium. By visiting a doctor, you can consult on the issue of complex treatment.
An overgrowth of epithelial tissue in the oral mucosa causes the human papillomavirus (HPV). Its particles are present in the organisms of 9 out of 10 adults on the planet. Some do not know about it, do not feel the changes at all. Others have to struggle with unpleasant manifestations of papillomatosis for many years.
Possible malignancy or malignant transformation is indicated by bleeding, painful sensations, compaction of the papilloma "leg".
Regardless of the specific localization of growths on the oral mucosa, there are several general characteristics tumors. Usually papillomas on the gums have pink color with a whitish tint, their size does not exceed 10 mm. The most characteristic feature is the presence of a narrow or wide base - the so-called "legs". The upper part is bumpy, with uneven edges.
Feelings of a person who has become the "owner" of a small tumor in the mouth: it interferes with the normal chewing of food, talking. Much depends on the specific location of the papilloma. Usually, the localization of formations is associated with the tongue, gums, lips, lateral surfaces of the oral cavity. There are not only single papillomas, but also multiple growths. Some are soft and mobile to the touch, others have a keratinized surface.
Before removing growths with such characteristic signs, cytological and histological examinations of the material obtained from the mouth are necessarily carried out. Laboratory tests make it possible to distinguish papilloma from genital warts or epitheliomas, to determine the degree of oncogenicity of HPV.
Specialists need to clearly limit the growth, identify hidden foci of papilloma in the mouth, the treatment of which does not begin without consulting an oncologist, dentist, ENT doctor. The choice of therapeutic method affects the final results, but it is difficult to achieve one hundred percent indicators.
To increase the effectiveness of treatment, it is carried out in a complex manner. According to medical research and patient reviews, it is this approach that reduces the number of relapses, that is, the appearance of new tumors in the oral cavity.
Treatment of a small overgrowth of the epithelium of the mucous membrane is fast enough, almost painless. It is easier to get rid of small round formations on a thin stem. Usually, papilloma in the mouth has an uneven edge in the form of a cock's comb or cauliflower. Its color is close to the tone of the mucous membranes, sometimes it is darker or lighter. Removal of such tumors is carried out by the method of deep coagulation with radio waves, evaporation with a laser beam, and traditional surgical excision.
Papillomas in the oral cavity should not be treated with strong chemical compounds, they affect the malignant degeneration of cells.
Treatment of the human papillomavirus on the lips consists of two stages. First, the neoplasm is removed using a laser or "radio knife", then the doctor prescribes antiviral drugs. Modern methods of excision of papillomas are low-traumatic, anesthesia is provided at the request of the patient. An important feature of high-tech treatment is that there is practically no need for preliminary preparation of the sick organism to remove the neoplasm.
The use of antiviral drugs helps to limit the spread of tumors throughout the body. Without adequate treatment, papilloma often degenerates into a malignant form. In addition, a decrease in HPV activity and a strengthening of the immune system help to avoid possible relapses of the disease.
The appearance of fast-growing growths that change color and shape is a reason to consult a doctor.
Papillomas in the mouth, as in the photo below, not only cause a person severe discomfort, but also indicate the presence of the human papillomavirus in your body. The lesions can be single, but most often they are multiple rashes in the oral cavity. The problem does not lead to the development of any dental diseases, however, if damaged, it begins to bleed heavily, creating all favorable conditions to spread the infection.
After all, it is known that some strains of the virus are highly oncogenic and can lead to the development of oncology. Carcinogenic strains are very fond of mucous membranes, since these conditions are excellent for malignancy. That is why it is imperative to treat papillomas and not leave the situation unattended.
Papilloma in the mouth
Outwardly, these neoplasms usually look like this:
Thus, you can easily diagnose papillomas in yourself at home and in a calm atmosphere, and then contact a specialist. But, it is unreasonable to independently strive to somehow solve the problem at home... Whatever folk healers, herbalists, grandmothers and acquaintances tell you, do not delay a visit to the doctor.
For human papillomavirus environment practically not scary, he successfully dwells in it. It is for this reason that this virus has been diagnosed in every second inhabitant of the globe.
A person may not even be aware of the presence of a virus, he may not have growths on his body, but at the same time he is actively transmitting the infection to other people.
So, to see your enemy in the face, it takes years, and only after weakening of the immune system, the virus "climbs" to the surface under the guise of papillomas. Likewise, another person may develop this virus in two weeks or a month (after incubation period) on the skin or mucous membranes, after infection. It all depends on the state of the body's defenses.
You can get infected simply in everyday life, as well as if:
HPV in a child
HPV is also transmitted to babies in almost 99% of cases if a woman is already infected.
At the same time, a very serious danger is created for a small organism, so you should definitely show the child to a specialist.
If your partner is already infected, even with a kiss, you have every chance of transmitting the infection from him. And if he already has growths in his mouth, then it is most likely that you will become one hundred percent infected.
You may not know about the fact of infection with a virus for a long time. Only a special study can give you a reliable picture of the presence or absence of a virus in the body.
Papillomas occur when immunity is weakened or hormonal imbalance.
Factors that lead to the appearance of formations:
Do not worry that you will definitely develop papilloma in the future, especially if you doubt your surroundings or there was a risk factor. However, everything is possible and it will not be superfluous to always take care of your immunity, temper your body, play sports and eat right.
The mode of transmission of infection and the site of localization are not related to each other. If you become infected, for example, through a cup, this does not mean that papillomas are formed in the oral cavity. There are separate strains that settle on the mucous membranes of the mouth.: 2,6,11,18,30. All other types are formed on other parts of the human body.
Since the mouth is a mucosal part of the body, formations can appear anywhere. Papilloma in the palate most often forms on its hard part, the lips are affected from the inside, papillomas on the gums are often diagnosed: photo.
Papilloma on the gum
The most difficult to find formations in the tonsils and in the throat. Most often, this phenomenon is confused with other diseases of the ENT system. The help of a competent specialist is extremely important, since you need to start treatment as soon as possible.
In case of untimely diagnosis and lack of therapy, the pathological process will spread to the respiratory tract. In this case, multiple nodular growths are formed.
Formations in the language are considered especially inconvenient.... In this case, the patient feels severe discomfort, papillomas of this type are prone to injury, which is fraught with hemorrhage and the occurrence of wounds. These wounds can become infected, creating many other problems.
In order for the virus to leave you forever, it is necessary to expel it from the body. The formations that we see are just external manifestations of the virus. It is imperative to remove growths, as they are very contagious and dangerous, both for other people and for the patient. But this will not give one hundred percent recovery. After a certain period of time, a relapse may occur, and again you will see guests on your body in the form of papillomas.
After an appropriate examination, doctor prescribes a course of therapy, which means:
It happens that the body heals itself within a few months and kills the virus from the body. In this case, your papillomas will go away by themselves along with the virus. But this rarely happens even if a person has strong immunity. Typically, HPV therapy is complex, lengthy, and expensive.
Please note that treatment must be carried out in a medical facility that has a special license. Avoid all kinds of salons and other establishments with a dubious reputation.
Papilloma on the tongue
First of all, it is necessary to get rid of bacteria and eliminate the gateway for the entry of infection. For this you need:
This therapy is carried out when the formations have reached a sufficiently large size. There are several therapy options available today. It all depends on the medical institution in which you will be treating and on the decision of the dentist:
The manipulation is painless, but it leaves little scars.
Ultrasound and radio waves are also used.
To get rid of the problem once and for all, it is necessary to act directly on the virus itself, and not just on its symptoms. The patient must take medications that eliminate the true cause - the human papillomavirus... Otherwise, you will get rid of the external manifestations of the infection, but not from the problem. In many patients, new growths form within a month after the removal of the old ones.
To get rid of the problem once and for all, it is necessary to act directly on the virus itself, and not just on its symptoms.
The doctor will prescribe you effective antiviral drugs, vitamin complexes. It is your responsibility to adjust your diet and lifestyle. Drink vitamin drinks, herbal teas, be sure to add honey and lemon. Buy a tincture of echinacea, it perfectly activates the immune system.
Some people successfully get rid of growths with alternative medicine. But for this you need to undergo a diagnosis and be confident in your diagnosis. It is better to visit an experienced healer who knows exactly how to solve this issue without resorting to surgery. As practice shows, in most cases, in this way it is not possible to get rid of papillomas forever, and even more so from the virus. To defeat him, you must definitely turn to official medicine and solve the problem in a civilized manner.
