Papilloma, the medical term for a tumor that grows outward, typically resembles a fingerlike projection. Papillomas may form on various parts of the body, including the skin, nose, genitals, eyes, respiratory tract and female breast ducts. Human papillomavirus causes most types of papillomas. Other causes of these lesions include ultraviolet light or tissue injury. Although these tumors are generally benign, they may be precancerous or cancerous.
Depending on the cause of the tumor and location in the body, certain symptoms may arise. If a person notices an abnormal growth, whether it's painful or not, they should seek medical care.1Sabry, Ahmed O. ‘Papilloma.’ StatPearls /[Internet/]., U.S. National Library of Medicine, 25 Feb. 2021, www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK560737/
