Modern surgery, general and operative . the anus, the vagina, or the penis during theexistence of a filthy discharge {venereal warts, Fig. 177), and crops of wartsmay appear on the hands of those who work in irritant material (as petroleum).Papillomata are apt to arise in mucous membrances about carcinomata orchronic ulcerations. A large crop of warts may disappear in a single night;hence the popular belief in the efficacy of charms. Warts are particularlycommon on the skin of the back of the hands and fingers, the skin of the back,and the skin of the neck and scalp. A single skin-wart may reach the sizeof a walnut and become pigmented. The squamous epithelium coveringa skin-wart may become horny (a wart-horn). Other cutaneous horns arisefrom the nails, from the scars of burns, or from ruptured sebaceous cysts. Villous papillomata grow chiefly from the bladder, but they may also growfrom the stomach and intestine. A papilloma of mucous membrane coveredwith squamous epitheUum looks like a wart of the skin. Papillomata of the. Venereal warts. larynx are formed of squamous epithelium. Villous papillomata form tuftslike the villous processes of the chorion; they may be single or multiple, andmay be sessile or pedunculated; they are very vascular, and are apt to bleedfreely. Papillomata may arise in cysts of the paroophoron, in cysts of themammary gland, from the choroid plexuses of the ventricles of the brain,and from the spinal membranes. Papillomata may give rise to hemorrhageor may impair the function of a part. Any papilloma may become a cancer. Treatment.—Venereal warts are treated by repeatedly washing withperoxid of hydrogen, drying with cotton, and dusting with a powder composedof borated talcimi or of equal parts of calomel and subnitrate of bismuth, orof oxid of zinc and iodoform. If they do not soon dry up, cut them off withscissors and burn with the Paquelin cautery. Ordinary warts may usuallybe destroyed in a short time by daily applications of lactic or
