Etymology

The term 'papilloma' originates from the Latin word 'papilla', meaning 'nipple' or 'nipple-like projection'. The suffix '-oma' is used in medical terminology to denote tumors. The use of this term began in the 19th century, when pathologists started classifying various forms of tumors based on their structural characteristics. As the understanding of viruses and their role in tumorigenesis developed, papillomas were identified as tumors associated with viral infections, specifically those caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). Today, papillomas are well-studied in the context of oncology and virology, and they serve as important markers for assessing the risk of certain cancers.
