title: Detection of HPV-20, HPV-23, and HPV-DL332 in a solitary eyelid syringoma.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To report evidence of many human papillomavirus types occurring in a solitary syringoma clinically appearing as a papilloma.
  
  
  METHODS
  A 57-year-old man presented with a 10-year history of an upper eyelid tumor. Histopathology, human papillomavirus-nested polymerase chain reaction, human papillomavirus-DNA cloning into vector pCR2.1, sequencing, and computer-assisted evaluation were performed.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Histopathology demonstrated a solitary benign syringoma. HPV-20 and HPV-23 were present in one clone each, and HPV-5-related HPV-DL332 was present in 9 clones.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Many human papillomavirus types may be detected in an ocular syringoma.
