abstract background and aims: cervical cancer is among leading causes of cancer related death in women and human papilloma virus (hpv) is one of the important risk factor of this cancer. the aim of the present study was to develop a pcr method for identification of a high carcinogenic type of hpv, hpv 18 using e6 gene as a marker in patients with cervical cancer materials and methods: 92 formal...

abstract background and aims: the human papilloma virus was introduced as the major etiological agent in outbreak of cervical cancer in 1970. since it is impossible to recognize these viruses and these types using the serological tests and cell culture, molecular methods such as pcr are of great importance. therefore, in this study, our goal was to use a multiple specific pcr assay on l1 and e6...

Squamous papillomas are benign neoplasms. The occurrence of middle ear squamous papilloma is rare. It is usually associated with nasosinusal pathology. The authors report a case of middle ear squamous papilloma and discuss its diagnostic aspects.

Rhinosporidiosis is a chronic granulomatous disease of mucous membranes and is endemic in Southern India and Sri Lanka, though there are infrequent reports of the disease elsewhere in the world with Rhinosporidium seeberi identified as aetiological agent. Sino nasal Inverted papilloma constitutes only 0.5-4% of all nasal tumours and may be associated with human papilloma virus, chronic inflamma...

Oncocytic Schneiderian papilloma, fungiform papilloma, and inverted papilloma are 3 morphologically separate tumors arising from the Schneiderian membrane. Oncocytic Schneiderian papillomas comprise about 3 approximately 5% of this entity. Old-aged group predominates. No sex predilection is noted. Multi-layered eosinophilic epithelium characterizes this kind of tumor. Exophytic and inverted gro...

Bovine papilloma antigen detected by fluorescent antibody was correlated with the appearance of infectious virus and with epithelial hyperplasia and hyperkeratinization in the developing bovine cutaneous papilloma. Neither antigen nor infectious virus was found in the earliest stages of growth characterized by connective tissue pro liferation and by little or no epithelial change. The cellular ...

UNLABELLED Intraductal papilloma is a benign breast tumor which needs histopathological verification because of the risk of cancer coincidence. THE AIM OF THE STUDY To assess the value of the mammography-guided and ultrasound-guided vacuum-assisted core biopsy in the diagnosis and treatment of intraductal papillomas of breast and to answer the question if mammotome biopsy allows to avoid surg...

Laryngeal papillomas are caused by infection of the laryngeal epithelium by human papillomavirus type 6 or type 11 (HPV-6/-11). Previous studies in our laboratory have demonstrated an increase in PI3 kinase levels in papilloma tissue. However, activation of the downstream effector of PI3 kinase, protein kinase B (PKB/Akt), was reduced. This observation was explained by the elevated expression o...
