"flat brown spot" ?: A "flat brown spot" on buttock cheek is not HPV. Pap smears with reflex testing for HPV are accurate, and sufficient.

Had a flat light brown area that biopsy showed it was a seborrheic keratosis. Path report asked if I wanted it to be tested for hpv because it was on my groin - not actual genital. Very confused. Always have normal paps. How could this be hpv related?

Had a few brown macules near buttock on inside of groin biopsied. Came back as seborrheic keratosis. Would Bowen papulosis have looked different under the microscope ? Or are the two confused often.
