Demonstration of human papilloma virus (HPV) antigens in a case of urethral condyloma. 1983

K J Syrjänen, and S Pyrhönen

A 33-year-old women is reported, in whom a urethral condyloma was found 2 years after a preceding condylomatous lesion in the uterine cervix. The urethral condyloma was of the flat type, not previously described in this location, and it was found by an indirect immunoperoxidase-PAP method to contain cells positive for human papilloma virus (HPV) antigens. The role of HPV in the etiology of such condylomas is briefly reviewed and the suggested involvement of HPV in human squamous cell carcinogenesis is discussed.

D000328	Adult	A person having attained full growth or maturity. Adults are of 19 through 44 years of age. For a person between 19 and 24 years of age, YOUNG ADULT is available.	Adults
D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D000957	Antigens, Viral, Tumor	Those proteins recognized by antibodies from serum of animals bearing tumors induced by viruses; these proteins are presumably coded for by the nucleic acids of the same viruses that caused the neoplastic transformation.

D014412	Tumor Virus Infections	Infections produced by oncogenic viruses. The infections caused by DNA viruses are less numerous but more diverse than those caused by the RNA oncogenic viruses.

D014523	Urethral Neoplasms	Cancer or tumors of the URETHRA. Benign epithelial tumors of the urethra usually consist of squamous and transitional cells. Primary urethral carcinomas are rare and typically of squamous cells. Urethral carcinoma is the only urological malignancy that is more common in females than in males.

D027383	Papillomaviridae	A family of small, non-enveloped DNA viruses infecting birds and most mammals, especially humans. They are grouped into multiple genera, but the viruses are highly host-species specific and tissue-restricted. They are commonly divided into hundreds of papillomavirus "types", each with specific gene function and gene control regions, despite sequence homology. Human papillomaviruses are found in the genera ALPHAPAPILLOMAVIRUS; BETAPAPILLOMAVIRUS; GAMMAPAPILLOMAVIRUS; and MUPAPILLOMAVIRUS.
