Background: This study investigated prospectively the role of human papillomavirus (HPV) in paranasal inverted papilloma (IP). Methods: HPV presence and viral load and physical status of HPV-16 were examined by polymerase chain reaction-based methods using fresh frozen samples obtained from 13 patients with IP (IP group), 11 with squamous cell carcinoma in the maxillary sinus (SCC group) and 39 with chronic inflammatory lesions (inflammatory group). Results: The presence of the HPV genome was detected in 46.1%, 27.3% and 7.6% of patients in the IP, SCC and inflammatory groups, respectively. The IP group showed significantly higher HPV-positive rates than the inflammatory group. All types of HPV detected were high-risk HPV, especially HPV-16. The relative HPV-16 copy numbers varied from 2.5 to 1524.1 per 50 ng genomic DNA. The viral load was higher in the IP and SCC groups than in the inflammatory group. In the IP group, no significant relationship was found between HPV-16 viral load and clinical characteristics, or between physical status and clinical characteristics. One patient with IP and concomitant squamous cell carcinoma, however, showed high viral load and integration. Conclusions: HPV infection is involved in the pathogenesis of IP, and high viral load and integration of HPV have an important role in malignant lesion in association with IP.

Background: In addition to smoking and alcohol consumption, human papillomavirus (HPV) is a leading etiology for Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC). However, this causal association is still understudied in Middle Eastern populations. Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of HPV-associated infection in the Jordanian HNSCC patients and the associated HPV genotypes. Methods: Formalin-Fixed Paraffin-Embedded (FFPE) squamous cell carcinoma samples of the head and neck were collected from two referral centers in Amman, Jordan to determine the existence of HPV DNA. After DNA extraction HPV infection and genotyping were identified using real-time PCR. Results: HPV DNA was detected in 19 out of 61 (31.1%) HNSCC samples. Despite screening for 28 different genotypes, HPV 16 was the only genotype identified in all examined samples. Most HPV-positive samples were obtained from the oropharynx (41.7%), oral cavity (37%), and larynx (18.2%). No significant association between HPV 16 genotype and age, sex, tobacco use, anatomical location, or tumor grade was noticed. Conclusion: This study reported a high association between HPV 16 genotype and HNSCC in Jordanian patients. These data should facilitate the implementation of appropriate HPV awareness campaigns, and activate selective prophylactic measures against HPV infection.

Recent evidence suggests that human papillomavirus may play a role in the pathogenesis of inverted papilloma, a benign but locally aggressive neoplasm with a high recurrence rate and an association with squamous cell carcinoma. Histologic features of inverted papilloma have not been useful in discriminating lesions at high risk for malignant transformation. We studied archival pathology specimens from 39 patients with inverted papilloma treated at the University of Michigan between 1980 and 1994 using polymerase chain reaction techniques and human papillomavirus L1 and E6 consensus primers. Previously we reported that 63% of these specimens tested positive for human papillomavirus sequences and that presence of human papillomavirus predicted recurrence of inverted papilloma. We used type-specific primer pairs and polymerase chain reaction techniques as well as hybridization with type-specific oligonucleotide probes to determine human papillomavirus type. A significant correlation was observed between the severity of the lesion (dysplasia or carcinoma) and high risk human papillomavirus type ( p < 0.01). All 12 benign inverted papilloma specimens that contained human papillomavirus tested positive for human papillomavirus 6 or 11. Of seven inverted papilloma specimens that exhibited dysplasia, five were human papillomavirus positive, three contained human papillomavirus 6, one contained human papillomavirus 11, and one contained human papillomavirus 18. In each of the three specimens that contained inverted papilloma in association with squamous cell carcinoma, the inverted papilloma portion of the specimen tested positive for a single human papillomavirus type: human papillomavirus 6,11, or 16. Of the four human papillomavirus-positive specimens with squamous cell carcinoma alone (patients who had an inverted papilloma previously resected at the same site), three tested positive for human papillomavirus 16, and 1 was untyped.

Abstract Context.—Most cervical tumors are classified as squamous cell carcinoma or adenocarcinoma, both of which are associated with persistent human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. Although other (rare) types represent less than 5% of all cervical carcinomas, it is necessary that these more unusual tumors be studied in the current era of papillomavirus vaccine development, especially in regions with high incidence of cervical cancer. Objective.—To compare papillomavirus types found in histologically rare cervical carcinomas (n = 29) with those types found in common cervical carcinomas (n = 14) archived at the Institute of Cancer in Mexico City, Mexico. Design.—Paraffin-embedded tissues were received and sectioned at the Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center at Shreveport. One section for each block was stained and examined by 2 pathologists. Specific histologies were categorized into 2 broad groups: common (squamous cell carcinoma or adenocarcinoma) or rare (adenosquamous, papillary, villoglandular, anaplastic, transitional, spindle, adenoid basal, colloid, neuroendocrine, and glassy cell carcinomas). Papillomavirus typing results were based on Roche Molecular Systems line-blot assay. Results.—No significant difference was found for dual HPV types (21% of both groups), positivity for HPV-16 (66% of rare tumors and 71% of common tumors), or absence of HPV types 16 or 18, although the rare cancers had a greater tendency toward more unusual HPV types (8/29 rare tumors and 1/14 common tumors had no HPV- 16 or HPV-18 DNA). Non–HPV-16/18 types found only in rare tumors included HPV types 52, 84, 26, 35, and 58. Conclusions.—Rare types of cervical carcinoma also are associated with papillomavirus, most with types similar to those found in common cervical neoplasias.
