Abstract
To the Editor: A 59-year-old healthy woman presented in October 2009 with a 5-year history of recalcitrant plantar warts. Four large warts were present on her feet; the largest measured 4.6 cm in diameter. She had previously been treated with numerous therapies, including liquid nitrogen cryotherapy, topical imiquimod 5%, 40% salicylic acid, pulsed dye laser, and oral cimetidine without improvement. A shave biopsy was performed and findings confirmed the diagnosis. On the basis of the classic clinical and histopathologic findings, human papillomavirus (HPV) typing was not performed initially.
