TODO - The histological similarities of seborrhoeic keratoses and common warts
led to the investigation of the possible occurrence of human
papillomavirus DNA (HPV-DNA) in a large number of nongenital seborrhoeic
keratoses using the in situ hybridization technique, All specimens
derived from normal skin (n = 173) were negative for the applied HPV-DNA
probe, whereas the HPV genome was detected in 33 of 173 seborrhoeic
keratosis specimens (19.65%). Of 34 HPV-positive specimens, 15
contained types 6/11 and 14 types 31/33/35, and 5 showed no positive
reaction to the applied types. These results suggest that a considerable
percentage of nongenital seborrhoeic keratoses may be related to an HPV
infection.
