Introduction. Warts are benign epithelial lesions that involve skin and mucosa. Successful management depends on the patient’s immunity, site and type of wart. In spite of huge therapeutic armory available, no treatment has been found to be effective so far.Objective. To evaluate the effectiveness of autoimplantation in the management of multiple warts.Material and Methods. This is a hospital based prospective study of forty patients with multiple warts.
