Human papillomavirus infection and ultraviolet light exposure as epidermoid inclusion cyst risk factors in a patient with epidermodysplasia verruciformis? - 01/11/17
Abstract |
Epidermoid inclusion cysts are common lesions with unclear etiology. We sought to examine evidence for human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and ultraviolet light (UV) exposure as risk factors in the formation of epidermoid inclusion cysts. We performed HPV typing of biopsied cysts with polymerase chain reaction for a patient with darkly-pigmented skin, epidermodysplasia verruciformis (EV) and more than 250 photodistributed cysts. HPV types 8 and 6 DNA was demonstrated within biopsy specimens of 3 cysts. In one biopsy specimen, abnormal keratinocytes bridging the follicular infundibulum were seen. We concluded that UV exposure and HPV viral infection may be risk factors for the formation of epidermoid inclusion cysts.
