title: Transitional cell papilloma in the fossa navicularis is positive for human papillomavirus.
abstract: Transitional cell papillomas rarely develop in the fossa navicularis of the anterior urethra. We observed such a case of transitional cell papilloma and detected human papillomavirus type 6 (HPV-6) DNA in this papilloma by polymerase chain reaction. To our knowledge this report is the first of HPV-infected transitional papilloma in the anterior urethra.
