A member asked:

Could a papilloma in my mouth (on uvula) mean this is hpv?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes, possibly.: Some oral papillomas are triggered / caused by hpv infection. Studying the papilloma under the microscope and/or using molecular testing for hpv genetic material (dna) would help to determine if hpv is the cause of a particular papilloma.
