Core Tip
Core tip: Primary intestinal lymphangiectasia (PIL) patients are associated with cell-mediated immunodeficiency. Therefore, PIL patients are vulnerable to viral infection. However, PIL with warts caused by human papilloma virus is very rare. We report a rare case of PIL with generalized warts.
