Condyloma acuminatum in a cynomolgus monkey (Macaca fascicularis).
Condyloma acuminatum was found on the penile shaft and glans of a wild-caught cynomolgus monkey. The characteristic cauliflower-like, digitated lesions corresponded histopathologically with epidermal hyperplasia, hyperkeratosis, hypergranulosis, pallor of the mid-spinous zone, and crowding of keratinocytes. Electron microscopy revealed 10 intranuclear viral particles. In situ hybridization studies using human DNA probes (pan-Human Papillomavirus [HPV] 6/11, HPV 16/18, and HPV 31/33) all failed to hybridize. Polymerase chain reaction using papillomavirus probes MY09, MY11, GP5, and GP6 failed to amplify HPV DNA. We conclude that this lesion likely is a viral-induced condyloma but that the virus is not detectable by using presently available human or monkey papillomavirus probes.
