Zusammenfassung:The histological similarities of seborrhoeic keratoses and common warts led to the investigation of the possible occurrence of human papillomavirus DNA (HPV-DNA) in a large number of nongenital seborrhoeic keratoses using the in situ hybridization technique. All specimens derived from normal skin (n = 173) were negative for the applied HPV-DNA probe, whereas the HPV genome was detected in 34 of 173 seborrhoeic keratosis specimens (19.65%). Of 34 HPV-positive specimens, 15 contained types 6/11 and 14 types 31/33/35, and 5 showed no positive reaction to the applied types. These results suggest that a considerable percentage of nongenital seborrhoeic keratoses may be related to an HPV infection.
