Abstract

Warts are common lesions. The prevalence and incidence of squamous papilloma of the nasal vestibulum are not known, and it is not certain how often human papilloma viruses are involved. Numerous medical or surgical treatment modalities have been reported in the literature with variable, sometimes unsatisfactory results. Imiquimod cream is a topically applied immunomodulator. It is used for warts and other skin tumours on different locations of the body. We report results of six patients treated with imiquimod five per cent cream for nasal squamous papilloma.
