[Detection of Epstein-Barr virus and human papillomavirus in sinonasal malignant neoplasms].
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the existance of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and papilloma virus(HPV) in sinonasal malignant neoplasms.


METHODS
EBV and HPV (including HPV6,11,16,18,33) gene were detected in paraffin-embedded tissues with polymerase chain reaction(PCR) from 32 cases of sinonasal malignant neoplasms.


RESULTS
EBV was detected in 12(37.5%), HPV in 21(65.6%); The coinfection of EBV and HPV was found in 6 cases with stage III-IV by TNM; 10 cases of nasal polyps contained neither EBV nor HPV.


CONCLUSIONS
Like HPV, there may be relationship between EBV and sinonasal malignant neoplasms. The coinfection of EBV and HPV is related to stage III-IV by TNM of sinonasal malignant neoplasms.
