“…A total of five studies investigated the prevalence of penile HPV in Greek men (Tables 3,4) (Gomousa-Michael et al, 1997; Gomousa-Michael, et al, 2000; Hadjivassiliou, et al, 2007; Labropoulou, et al, 1994; Yapijakis, et al, 2008). One study, which looked at men visiting a dermatologist for penile lesions, stratified its subjects on the basis of HIV status and it was the only one to do so from all the studies included in this systematic review (Gomousa-Michael, et al, 2000).…”

“…The study included 56 MSM subjects who were found to be more likely to be HPV positive compared to non-MSM (p<0.001) (Hadjivassiliou, et al, 2007). Another study in this category enrolled high-risk women and their male sexual partners who had abnormal urethral cytology (Gomousa-Michael, et al, 1997). The sites sampled include the penile urethra for men and the cervix for women.…”

“…The sites sampled include the penile urethra for men and the cervix for women. The study reported there was a synchronous HPV infection in 50% of sexual partners indicating that HPV positivity may be transferred between partners (Gomousa-Michael, et al, 1997). …”

“…As a result, the findings of these studies cannot be generalized to the population at large. The same applies for studies looking at anal and penile sites in Greece, which enrolled patients with existing anal and/or penile lesions or cancer (Alexandrou, et al, 2014; Gomousa-Michael, et al, 1997; Gomousa-Michael, et al, 2000; Hadjivassiliou, et al, 2007; Labropoulou, et al, 1994; Mavrogianni, et al, 2011). An understanding of the epidemiology of HPV at these sites in asymptomatic individuals is needed in order to identify risk factors for infection and determine the cost-effectiveness of vaccination in the general population.…”

Objectives We systematically reviewed the literature on anal, penile, cervical, and oropharyngeal HPV infection in Greece to provide a comprehensive overview of HPV prevalence and to explore the reporting of HPV in Greek men and women. Methods A total of 5 databases, including PubMed and Scopus, were searched up until January 1st, 2015 for studies looking at HPV prevalence, incidence, or risk factors by anatomical site. Results We identified 50 eligible studies for inclusion. The majority of them were cervical studies (n=26) followed by head and neck studies (n=13) with only two studies exclusively focusing on anal sites and two at penile sites. The remaining studies examined prevalence from multiple sites. Most studies looked at small, high-risk populations and HPV prevalence ranged from 2.5%–43.4% for cervical studies; 0%–91% for head and neck studies; 54.6%–78.4% for anal studies and 20.3%–66.7% for penile studies. Age, smoking, and number of sexual partners were commonly assessed risk factors. Conclusion There were significant gender and anatomic site disparities in the reporting of HPV prevalence. Given the relationship between HPV infection and the increasing incidence of anal cancer in men, more research is needed to reveal the prevalence of HPV at these sites in Greek men especially given reports of the declining health of the Greek population.

“…Several studies indicated that precancerous and invasive neoplastic lesions of the female genital tract contain HPV DNA at high rates. 8,17 In men some types of HPV have been implicated as possible causative agents in the induction of anal dysplasia and carcinoma. 26 The penile area is also a site of dysplasia.…”

We performed cytological examination of urethral brushing to study aberrant E‐Cadherin expression as a possible marker for papillomavirus in cytological samples. A total of 30 cytobrush male urethral smears were examined E‐cadherin expression and human papillomavirus (hpv) was confirmed using PCR‐DNA. The age range was 19–36 years (mean: 27 years), 17 (56.7%) cases corresponded to low‐risk HPV and 13 (43.3%) cases were high‐risk HPV. The mean age ranges were 25.77 ± 5.90 years for high‐risk HPV and 26.77 ± 4.31years for low‐risk HPV. Pap smears showed dyskeratosis in 23 (76.7%) cases, koilocytes in 13 (43.3%) cases, infection or bacterial background in 14 (43.7%) cases, suggestive changes of Gardnerella infection in 7 (23.3%) cases, and Chlamydia in 3 (10%) cases. Immunohistochemistry was positive for membrane E‐Cadherin; there was weak expression in 13 (43.3%) cases, moderate expression in 11 (36.7%) cases (P = 0.109) (Figs. 3a and b), and strong expression in 6 (20%) cases. There were a statistically significant correlations between E‐Cadherin expression and koilocytes (P = 0.007), individual cell dyskeratosis (P = 0.041), and HPV risk (P = 0.000). We concluded that the loss of E‐Cadherin membrane expression was greater in high‐risk HPV cases and was associated with individual cell dyskeratosis features and koilocytes. There were statistically significant correlations between E‐Cadherin expression and dyskeratosis (P = 0.043), koilocytes (P = 0.007), and type of HPV (P = 0.000). Using male urethral smears to test for the loss of E‐Cadherin membrane expression is simple, rapid, specific and more sensitive than conventional morphologic observations. We concluded that E‐Cadherin can be used to discriminate between high‐ and low‐risk papillomavirus in urethral cytologic specimens. Diagn. Cytopathol. 2010;38:583–589. 2009 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
