Abstract

Possible involvement of human papillomaviruses (HPV) in the development of vulvar and vestibular papillomatosis was investigated by using PCR to determine whether HPV DNA was present in lesions. Fourteen of 272 (5.1 %) young women studied were found on gross and histological examination to have vulvar or vestibular papillomatosis. HPV DNA sequences were detected in cervicovaginal lavage specimens of 2 of 14 (14.3 %) papillomatosis patients and 1 of 17 (5.9 %) matched individuals in the control group without lesions. The difference in HPV prevalence between these two groups was not statistically significant (x²=0.51, p>0.2). Furthermore, none of the 14 vulvar or vestibular papillomatosis biopsy tissues contained HPV DNA. The results suggest that vulvar and vestibular papillomatosis has an etiology other than HPV infection.
