[Urethral condyloma acuminatum with severe dysplasia in a male patient detected human papillomavirus type 11: a case report].
We report a case of urethral condyloma acuminatum with severe dysplasia detected human papillomavirus (HPV) type 11. A 47-year-old male patient visited St. Luke's International Hospital complaining of tumor at the urethral meatus. One small papillary lesion was found and excised. Histopathological examination revealed condyloma acuminatum with severe dysplasia. Immunohistochemical detection for HPV antigen in the specimen of condyloma acuminatum was positive and that of severe dysplasia was negative. In an electron microscopical study, viral particles were demonstrated only in the specimen of condyloma acuminatum. Detection of HPV DNA was performed using in situ hybridization (ISH) and southern blot hybridization (SBH). HPV type 11 was found in both lesions. In conclusion, although previous studies have shown that HPV type 16/18 was especially correlated with genital severe dysplasia and carcinoma, the process of malignant transformation was suggested in the association with HPV type 11.
