Demonstration of human papillomavirus type 1 DNA in a wart with bowenoid histologic changes.
A verrucous lesion on the forearm of a 6-year-old boy was found to be a human papillomavirus type 1 (HPV-1)-induced wart. In addition to typical intracytoplasmic inclusion bodies, the specific cytopathogenic effect of HPV-1 infection, bowenoid changes, were noted on histopathological examination.
