Female genital tumors associated with human papillomavirus infection, and the concept of genital neoplasm-papilloma syndrome (GENPS).
With the recent development of new analytic methods, notably the DNA hybridization technique, many benign and malignant gynecologic tumors including carcinoma in situ, verrucous carcinoma and some invasive carcinomas of the vulva, the vagina and the cervix are found to be associated with human papillomavirus infection. Benign warts and multiple neoplasms frequently appear synchronously or metachronously in a single patient, and thus present as the genital neoplasm-papilloma syndrome (GENPS). Various methods of human papillomavirus identification and a spectrum of benign and malignant female genital tumors proven to contain human papillomavirus are reviewed and summarized.
