Can you tell me whether the papilloma recently diagnosed in my horse's sheath (I think it is called squamous papilloma) would be the same kind of papilloma virus that causes the warts on young horses' muzzles? If so, is it also contagious in the same way?
The vet said some papillomas spontaneously regress but because of the size it is unlikely to go away of its own accord and may even start to grow more aggressively, so it is being frozen off.

It seems unlikely this is viral induced warts and these would have characteristic changes noted in the biopsy.

I have seen this before and once skin broke on wart,( must have knocked top off rubbing) it seems antibodies in horse kicked in and they all disappeared with in a few weeks. Both on nose and sheath.
I do not know if this is same type?
