ABSTRACT

Las verrugas vulgares son proliferaciones epiteliales benignas, causadas por la infección del virus papiloma humano. Suelen afectar a niños y adolescentes comprometiendo frecuentemente manos y rodillas. Existen múltiples tratamientos pero ninguno infalible, y si bien se preconiza la conducta expectante, existen casos en los que se debe realizar tratamiento. Presentamos el caso de un escolar de sexo masculino con verruga umbilical, una localización infrecuente, tratada exitosamente con electrocoagulación.


Common warts are benign epithelial growths caused by infection with human papillomavirus. They usually affect children and adolescents often compromising hands and knees. There are many treatments but none infallible, and while it is recommended an expectant behaviour, there are cases in which treatment should be performed. We report the case of a 12 year old white male with an umbilical wart, an unusual localization, treated successfully with electrocoagulation.
