BACKGROUND: Human papillomavirus-2 (HPV-2) is generally associated with common warts. The association of cutaneous horns with HPV-2 infection has never been reported. OBJECTIVES: To identify the papillomavirus (PV) type(s) involved in cutaneous horns and analysis the genomes of these viruses. STUDY DESIGN: We screened biopsies from two patients with multiple cutaneous horns using PV type-specific PCR assays, and...
