Plantar epidermoid cysts with human papillomavirus (HPV) infection are not rare in Japan. Most of them show the cytopathic effect of HPV type 60 - homogeneous intracytoplasmic inclusion bodies. Our case presented a plantar epidermoid cyst with vacuolation around the granular cell layer without any features of HPV type 60. In situ hybridization and polymerase chain reaction followed by DNA sequencing analysis revealed an association with HPV type 57.

We present the case of a 36-year-old paraplegic woman with a history of spinal cord injury who developed a generalized blistering rash, later diagnosed as bullous pemphigoid (BP). During her hospitalization, she was treated with prednisone and rituximab infusions, transitioning to maintenance therapy with topical steroids, doxycycline, and nicotinamide. A year later, she presented with concerns about a BP flare on her feet.

The semi-aquatic North American river otter (Lontra canadensis) has the unique challenge of navigating slippery algae-coated rocks. Unlike other river otter species, each rear paw of the North American river otter has a series of soft, circular, and keratinized plantar pads similar to the felt pads on the boots of fly fishermen. Surrounding these soft pads is a textured epidermal layer.

Background/aim: Cervical cancer is the third leading cause of cancer-related death in women worldwide. Nearly all cases of cervical cancer are due to infection with human papillomavirus (HPV). Nowarta110 has shown breakthrough therapeutic efficacy in phase II clinical study against plantar warts, with no reported side effects.

Article Synopsis
- Cutaneous warts are primarily caused by HPV infection, but differentiating between types like plantar warts and other lesions is challenging, highlighting the need for better diagnostic methods.
- A study followed 21 patients with plantar warts, revealing that 11 were HPV-positive and 10 were HPV-negative, which raised questions about the accuracy of previous diagnoses.
- Results showed that HPV-positive patients had a significantly higher healing rate after standard treatment compared to HPV-negative patients, suggesting that HPV typing could improve diagnosis and treatment effectiveness for plantar warts.
