Figure 1

Histopathologic findings for a representative biopsy of skin lesions (erythematous warts) from a female patient before she was administered human papillomavirus vaccine. Analysis revealed features typical of benign cutaneous warts, including acanthosis, parakeratosis, and numerous koilocytes. Vacuolated granular cells show prominent keratohyalin granules, characteristic of human papillomavirus infection (hematoxylin-eosin staining; original magnification ×200).
