Characteristic intracytoplasmic material in a perianal wart that contains human papillomavirus type 56 and 16 DNA.
We report the case of a perianal wart in which human papillomavirus type 56 and 16 DNAs were detected, arising in a 29-year-old healthy Japanese female. Clinically, moist erythema and small flat pinkish papules appeared around the anus and worsened over a period of 6 months. Histopathologically, no signs of dysplasia or atypia were apparent. An area of intracytoplasmic material, which was homogeneous and eosinophilic, was contained in each epidermal cell. The wart showed HPV-56 and HPV-16 DNAs by PCR and reverse-phase dot blot hybridization. Additional Southern blot analysis showed the amount of HPV-56 DNA to be more than 10 times that of HPV-16 DNA. This is the first case, to our knowledge, of a perianal wart with intracytoplasmic material, which contains HPV DNAs causing mucous lesions.
