Abstract

HPV infections are caused by human papillomaviruses. These viruses create cutaneous or mucous membrane tumors, including some warts. Warts are extremely common and easy to recognize, but when the location is atypical, histological confirmation is required. We report a HPV infection case localized in the ear's external auditory canal in a 30-year-old young that is admitted to the ENT department of the Ziguinchor Peace Hospital.
