For example, conjunctival papilloma is caused by HPV infection type 6, 11, 16, 33, and 45, which is somewhat dissimilar to genital warts caused by types 2, 3, 6, 11, 16, 18, and 30-32 and cutaneous papillomas (types 1-4 and 26-29).

Papillomas arise from the skin or some mucosal surfaces depending on the different types of Human Papillomavirus involved and their affinity to different sites. In addition, there are types of papillomas in which the mechanism responsible for their occurrence isn't fully understood, as in intraductal (breast duct) papillomas and choroid plexus papillomas. Nasal papillomas may be caused by local irritation and trauma to the mucosa, and some cutaneous papillomas have been associated with skin irritation. An example of this was cutaneous papillomas that had occurred in rats, mice, and hamsters following the local application of powerful carcinogens where they are believed to arise from the stratified squamous epithelium. It is worth noting that some papillomas are non-viral in origin as in the inverted papilloma of the urinary tract which has strongly been associated with smoking. It is a serious condition, as the papillomas may eventually enlarge causing obstruction of the airway. This may lead to the development of several papillomas in the larynx and upper trachea called Recurrent Respiratory Papillomatosis. There is evidence of vertical transmission of human papillomavirus from mothers to their infants. This is why we term non-viral growths as acrochordons. had found no significant association between skin tags and HPV. However, a study conducted by Pezeshkpoor et al. Several studies conducted have shown that most skin tags or cutaneous papillomas of the head and neck to be non-contagious, unlike warts despite containing low-risk forms of HPV DNA, especially of type 6/11. Vaginal, anal, or oral sex are the most common ways of spread. Infection is very contagious through direct and sexual contact. Genital HPV is spread by sustained direct skin-to-skin contact. Studies conducted have found HPV6/11 in 96% to 100% of all Genital wart lesions.
HPV has been found to cause papillomas to arise almost anywhere in the body with stratified squamous epithelium, like the skin, conjunctiva, oropharynx, larynx and upper trachea as well as the anogenital tracts. Usually, types 6, 7, and 11 are mostly associated with papillomas and are called low-risk types as they don't usually cause precancerous lesions and rarely progress into cancer. There are over 170 subtypes of the virus.
The majority of papillomas are caused by human papillomavirus (HPV).
