Verruca Vulgaris – Common Wart

Verruca Vulgaris – Common Wart

This example is a common oral wart (verruca vulgaris), appearing as a raised, rounded, flesh-colored lesion on the surface of the tongue. Common warts often arise in children but can develop later. It is often difficult to distinguish squamous papilloma from verruca vulgaris.
