Verruga Filiforme [new]

is a distinct clinical variant of the common wart (verruca vulgaris), caused by human papillomavirus (HPV). Its name derives from the Latin filum (thread) and forma (shape), describing its characteristic finger-like or thread-like projections. These warts are benign epithelial proliferations but are notable for their rapid growth, unusual morphology, and predilection for specific facial sites (lips, eyelids, nose, and perioral region).
