Human Papillomavirus and Extragenital in situ Carcinoma

Abstract: Background: The relation between human papillomavirus (HPV) and extragenital Bowen’s disease (BD) is controversial. Methods: This study used in situ hybridisation to evaluate the rate of HPV in extragenital cutaneous BD and investigated possible relations with immune status and exposure of skin to light. Results: HPV DNA was detected in 58% of 69 samples from 50 patients. The percentage of HPV detection was not significantly higher in exposed (55%) than unexposed areas (65%), and no difference in HPV rate was … Show more

“…This condition is also histologically characterized by in situ SCC lesions but, in contrast to BD, bowenoid papulosis lacks full‐thickness epidermal atypia. PV DNA is uncovered in virtually all samples of bowenoid papulosis but data concerning the presence of PV in human BD remain contradictory 22–25 . Furthermore, PVs that infect human bowenoid papulosis and BD are usually to mucosal and not to cutaneous strains 23,24 .…”

“…25 HPV DNA has been demonstrated in extragenital SCC in situ in varying amounts from 4Á8-60%. 24,[26][27][28] It appears that HPV16 may be particularly relevant with regard to development of SCC in situ on the hands and feet; it has been implicated in 60% of palmoplantar and periungual lesions 29 ; and (v) others: chronic injury or dermatoses (such as lupus vulgaris or chronic lupus erythematosus) have been implicated. 30 …”
