Dear cana: A papilloma is a wart-like growth. It is benign. The difficulty is that bloody discharge can be a papilloma or it can represent something more serious. You have done the correct thing by having it examined each time. Hopefully, you will not have multiple occurences. I cannot find any information suggesting that papillomas ever progress to cancer.
