Detection of human papillomavirus in oral lesions using commercially developed typing kits

Abstract: Biopsy material from 20 oral lesions (19 condylomas and 1 squamous papilloma) previously shown to contain human papillomavirus (HPV) 6 and HPV 11 sequences by in situ hybridization were examined using 3 commercially available HPV typing kits. Sensitivity and specificity were compared with in-house methods. Previous in situ hybridization had detected HPV 6b in 11 (55%) of the biopsies, HPV 6 and 11 in 7 (53%) and HPV 11 alone in 1 biopsy. Only one of the commercial assays (assay 1) detected HPV in all 20 biopsi… Show more

“…In 1974, Hausen et al initiated studies that led to the discovery of HPV in carcinoma of the cervix, and other researchers throughout the world have now confirmed this association (5,10,15,18) . Malignancy in many other urogenital and oral locations has now also been related to HPV (3) .…”

“…Dhariwal, Cubie and Southam (5) have stated that infections by HPV have been shown to be present in cancers of the mouth and also that the DNA of the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) has likewise been isolated in these types of lesions, but there is no evidence of their direct action in the process of malign transformation of buccal epithelial cells (2) . Furthermore, Mao et al (12) have emphasized that the inactivation of the p53 protein is the most frequent genetic alteration found in human tumors, premalignant and malignant tumors of the buccal epithelium.…”

“…Commercially available DNA hybridization kits are approved for cervical specimens; this technology has been used successfully to identify strains of HPV in intraoral lesions. 24 In biopsy specimens, the pathological interpretation can be corroborative but may not always be definitively diagnostic. Clinical features alone are usually sufficient to make the diagnosis in adults with typical genital condylomata acuminata.…”

“…Characteristic features include koilocytosis, acanthosis and papillomatosis which, coupled to the clinical appearance, suggest the infection (14). The classical oral lesions associated with human papillomavirus are squamous cell papilloma, condyloma acuminatum, verruca vulgaris and focal epithelial hyperplasia (15,16).…”
