A 58βyearβold Japanese man visited our clinic in December 2000 with a complaint of an erythematous plaque with reddish papules and pigmentation on the penis shaft and glans. He noticed the lesion 1Β month before his visit. He denied any previous homosexual activity. His wife denied any genital skin l

Abstract
^32^Pβlabelled DNA of HPV 16 which has been isolated and molecularly cloned from a cervical carcinoma (DΓΌrst et al., 1983) was used to screen the cellular DNAs obtained from 20 different biopsies of Morbus Bowen or Bowenoid papulosis, respectively, by Southern blot analysis. Under conditions of differing stringency for the hybridization, HPV 16 DNA or related sequences were identified in 6 out of 10 cases of Morbus Bowen (4 out of 5 from a genital localization) and in 8 out of 10 biopsies from Bowenoid papulosis. One additional case of the latter disease contained DNA sequences of an HPV type not yet classified. There is evidence for the presence of another HPV DNA in two of the HPVβ16βpositive tumors. A large number of normal genital tissue samples were negative for HPV DNA.

Bowenoid papulosis (BP) of the genitalia, characterized by the histological findings of a squamous cell carcinoma, follows a largely benign clinical course. The detection of oncogenic human papilloma viruses (HPV) from BP points to an aetiological role of these viral infections. A 47-year-old man wi
## Abstract During normal keratinocyte differentiation, a coordinated expression of many cytoskeletal and regulatory proteins occurs. Several studies suggest that expression of some of these proteins is altered in epithelium infected by the human papillomavirus (HPV). To examine protein expression,
Human papillomavirus (HPV) type 16 DNA is frequent in invasive cervical cancers. Among 43 patients with invasive cervical cancer, HPV-16-positive tumors spread to the parametrial and pelvic lymph nodes significantly more often than did HPV-16-negative tumors ( P < 0.05). Demonstration of HPV-16 DNA
