Abstract
Generalized verrucosis has been described in the past as synonymous with epidermodysplasia verruciformis. It has been shown, however, that epidermodysplasia verruciformis and other genetic or immunodeficiency diseases are just a subset of diffuse infections with human papillomavirus termed "generalized verrucosis." This article defines generalized verrucosis and distinct diseases associated with generalized warts. The indications for histopathologic testing, human papillomavirus typing, and other laboratory analyses and potential treatment options are discussed.
