[Condyloma acuminatum: histopathology and detection of human papilloma virus].
Comparing with the results of HPV DNA detection by PCR, 44 cases of condyloma acuminatum and condyloma-like lesions in female genital tract were studied histopathologically. Among 40 cases formerly diagnosed as condyloma acuminatum or suspicious condyloma acuminatum, all were HPV DNA detectable. HPV6 and HPV11 were found in 4 cases without koilocytes. HPV6 was found in one out of 4 cases formerly diagnosed as pseudocondyloma. The result showed that koilocytes are characteristic and diagnostic, anyhow, undiscovery of these cells still cannot rule out the possibility of condyloma acuminatum.
