title: An atypical case of penile carcinoma in situ associated with human papillomavirus DNA type 18.
abstract: We report an unusual case of penile carcinoma in situ in a heterosexual man. The histologic study showed a severe dysplasia, and the typing of human papillomavirus DNA, performed at the Pasteur Institute, disclosed a type 18, which is usually associated with penile and cervical carcinomas. The identification of an oncogenic human papillomavirus type in the penile lesions, such as type 18 found in this case, should lead to a search for cervical carcinoma in the sexual partner.
