title: [Three cases of vulvar bowenoid papulosis: the localization of HPV DNA by in situ hybridization].
abstract: Cytological, histological, and molecular biological studies were conducted in 3 cases of vulvar Bowenoid papulosis, using biotinylated HPV DNA probes by in situ hybridization. 1) Cytological findings showed dyskaryotic cells that revealed hyperchromatism with a coarse granular pattern, and a high N/C ratio was observed among the dyskeratotic cells. 2) In 2 cases of Bowenoid papulosis lesions, HPV 16 DNA was detected in the nucleus of the dysplastic cells. 3) In one case of Bowenoid papulosis, a complicated carcinoma in situ of the uterine cervix was observed, and the HPV 16 DNA was found to be positive in both the vulva and cervix.
