title: Disseminated warts and evolving squamous cell carcinoma in a patient with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.
abstract: A patient with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome developed widespread verrucous lesions on the hands, feet, and penis. Histologic analysis revealed typical changes of verruca vulgaris and, from several sites, a transformation toward squamous cell carcinoma. Southern blot analysis of deoxyribonucleic acid from penile wart tissue indicated the presence of a type of human papillomavirus that rarely is associated with carcinoma.
