[Evaluation the pathological diagnostic values of koilocyte in condyloma acuminatum].
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the histological diagnostic values of koilocyte in histopathologic diagnosis of condyloma acuminatum.


METHODS
Koilocyte was served as diagnostic criteria to scan 2 063 biopsies and compared the results with "goldan standard" of histopathologic diagnosis of condyloma acuminatum.


RESULTS
Using koilocyte as diagnostic standard to diagnose condyloma acuminatum, the sensitivity and specificity were 77.93% and 95.26%, with positive predictive value 97.25%, negative predictive value 66.70%, positive likelihood rate 81.81, negative likelihood rate 23.17, under diagnostic rate 22.07%, misdiagnostic rate 4.74%.


CONCLUSIONS
The koilocyte was proved to be one of classical histopathological morphologic features of human papillomavirus infection and other virus infection which served one of the most important histopathological markers for diagnosis of condyloma acuminatum, but not the only one.
