✦ Synopsis

Female genital condylomata acuminata were examined for DNA content. Diploid and polyploid DNA distributions, including tetraploidy and octdploidy, were found. These findings are in clear counterdistinction to squamous intraepithelial lesions, which have been found to be aneuploid. DNA quantitation, therefore, can be used in difficult cases to distinguish between condylomatous and neoplastic epithelium.
