What is another name for a wart, which involves hypertrophy of the papillae and epidermis?

The term "verruca" is indeed another name for a wart, which is characterized by the hypertrophy, or overgrowth, of both the papillae (the small projections in the dermis) and the epidermis (the outer layer of skin). Warts are benign epithelial tumors caused by viral infections, specifically human papillomavirus (HPV). They often appear as raised, rough lesions on the skin and can vary in size and shape.

Understanding the terminology is important; "verruca" specifically refers to warts, while the other terms have different meanings. A fibroma is a benign tumor that arises from connective tissue, keratosis refers to an abnormal growth of keratin on the skin, and a neoplasm is a broader term that encompasses any new and abnormal growth of tissue, which can be benign or malignant. Hence, the most accurate alternative name for a wart in this context is "verruca."
