are papilloma cancerous
A papilloma (plural papillomas or papillomata) (papillo- + -oma) is a benign epithelial tumor growing exophytically (outwardly projecting) in nipple-like and often finger-like fronds. In this context papilla refers to the projection created by the tumor, not a tumor on an already existing papilla (such as the nipple). Cysts do not increase the risk of breast cancer [39]. Diagnosis Most cysts are too small to feel. Some, however, are large and may feel like lumps in the breast and may cause breast pain [39]. Cysts are diagnosed with breast ultrasound and/or a fine needle aspiration (fine needle biopsy) [39]. Papillary breast cancer is a very rare type of invasive ductal breast cancer that accounts for fewer than 1% of all breast cancers. The name comes from finger-like projections, or papules, which are seen when the cells are looked at under the microscope. Many papillary tumors are benign. These are called papillomas. Even when a biopsy is negative for cancer, the pathologist often needs to look at the whole tumor under the microscope to be sure about the diagnosis. This is why surgery to remove a papilloma is usually recommended, even if it is thought to be benign. Human papillomavirus infection is a major cause of cervical cancer, although most HPV infections do not cause cancer. There are, however, a number of other conditions that cause papilloma, as well as many cases in which there is no known cause. They can occur in both women and men. There are many types of benign breast conditions. Your health care provider may use the term fibrocystic change to describe a range of benign breast conditions. Some benign breast conditions can cause discomfort or pain and need treatment. Others don’t need treatment. Inverted papillomas are noncancerous tumors that form in the posterior aspect of the nasal cavities. As they grow, they can sometimes extend into the paranasal sinuses or orbits. Occasionally, inverted papillomas can undergo a malignant transformation into an aggressive form of cancer called squamous cell carcinoma. Cervical cancer: Virtually all cases of cervical cancer are caused by HPV, and just two HPV types, 16 and 18, are responsible for about 70% of all cases (7, 8). Anal cancer: About 95% of anal cancers are caused by HPV. Most of these are caused by HPV type 16. Oropharyngeal cancers (cancers of the middle part of the throat, including the soft palate, the base of the tongue, and the tonsils): About 70% of oropharyngeal cancers are caused by HPV. Patients with multiple papillomas do have an increased risk of developing cancer and should be kept under annual review with regular mammography (preferably digital mammography) if treated conservatively. Magnetic resonance (MR) can be also used in surveillance in view of its high sensitivity. Treatment Options. Inverted papillomas are resected by an otolaryngologist through a minimally invasive approach called Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS). More advanced tumors can require a combined approach between neurosurgery and otolaryngology called the Expanded Endonasal Approach (EEA). Breast papillomas are a variety of lesions in the breast that are characterized by a papillary configuration on gross or microscopic examination (or both). Papillomas consist of a few broad fronds, abundant stroma, and an epithelium containing both luminal and myoepithelial cells [1].
