Introduction: Warts are benign tumours that commonly involve skin and other epithelial tissues. There is no single treatment modality that is 100% effective. In multiple warts, especially on face, palms, and soles destructive procedure are inappropriate and impractical. Homologous autoimplantation is a simple technique, which helps in inducing cell mediated response, causing clearance of warts. Aims and objectives: To evaluate the effect of homologous autoimplantation therapy in treatment of multiple warts. To study the untoward effects of this treatment. Material and methods: A total of 49 patients of viral warts were included in study. Homologous autoimplantation of wart was done and regular follow up was done to see the result. Results: Out of 49 patients, in 24 patients there was good response, 14 showed moderate response, 5 showed poor response and in 6 patients there was no response. Conclusion: Homologous autoimplantation is an easy, minimally invasive technique which clears multiple, recurrent and recalcitrant warts.

In multiple warts, especially on face, palms, and soles destructive procedure are inappropriate and impractical. Homologous autoimplantation is a simple technique, which helps in inducing cell mediated response, causing clearance of warts. Aims and objectives: To evaluate the effect of homologous autoimplantation therapy in treatment of multiple warts. To study the untoward effects of this treatment. Material and methods: A total of 49 patients of viral warts were included in study. Homologous autoimplantation of wart was done and regular follow up was done to see the result.
