[A case of verrucous carcinoma of the penis with detection of human papillomavirus using the in situ hybridization method].

A case of penile verrucous carcinoma is reported. The patient had a previous history of condyloma acuminatum of the penis. No signs of squamous cell carcinomas were observed in the histopathological findings. We also detected the histologic evidence of human papilloma virus (HPV) infection in the result of the study by in situ hybridization. The local positive reaction of HPV infection for type 6/11 was seen, and was related to the koliocytosis. However other types of HPV (16/18, 31/33, 51) were negative.
