Presence of human papillomavirus type 16 related sequences in verrucous carcinoma of the larynx.

چکیده
Verrucous carcinoma of the larynx clinically resembles laryngeal papilloma in that both are wart-like masses on the vocal cords and may be characterized by multifocality and recurrence. Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is an etiological factor in laryngeal papilloma, and recent evidence implicates HPV in squamous neoplasias. To determine whether HPV is also associated with verrucous carcinoma of the larynx, we analyzed tissue specimens from six patients with verrucous carcinoma of the larynx by Southern and DNA dot blot hybridization for HPV DNA. From three patients, specimens of normal laryngeal epithelium were also studied. All tissues showed evidence of HPV sequences related but not identical to HPV-16. They were negative for HPV-11. In contrast, four squamous cell carcinomas of the larynx and three normal laryngeal tissues were negative for HPV DNA. Histological sections of the six verrucous lesions were found to contain koilocytosis. Immunoperoxidase staining for HPV capsid antigens was negative in all these cases. The consistent and specific association of HPV with the verrucous carcinomas in this report suggests the possibility of a pathogenic involvement.

Verrucous carcinoma of the anus is a distinct and rare variant of well-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma. A case of anal verrucous carcinoma in a 35 year old man was studied by light microscopy and in situ DNA hybridization. Human papillomavirus (HPV) type 16 DNA sequences were demonstrated in the tumour cells, as well as in cells showing koilocytotic and dyskeratotic changes. The possible...

Human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA has been identified in esophageal carcinomas. However, the incidence of HPV varies significantly in different geographical locations. In this study, neoplasms from Turkmen Sahra, a region in Golestan province in northeast part of Iran, with a high incidence of squamous cell carcinoma were analyzed for the presence of HPV DNA. Turkmen Sahra is located in the cancer...

Background and Objective: Human papillomavirus (HPV) is one of the possible etiologic factors in development of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). In this study we aimed to study the role of HPV in ESCC. Patients and Methods:In this study, 140 cases of ESCC were analyzed for the HPV DNA by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using GP5+/GP6+ primers for L1 open reading frame (ORF) to am...
