Epidemiologic and Histopathologic Studies of Female Genital Warts

  • Chapter
Progress in Surgical Pathology

Abstract

RECENT CLINICAL, MORPHOLOGIC, immunohistochemical, and molecular hybridization studies have drastically changed and improved our understanding of human papillomavirus (HPV) infections, especially in the female genital tract. Of particular importance is the realization that genital HPV infection (1) is one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases (STDs),1–3 (2) manifests a wide spectrum of morphologic changes2–10 that may be caused by different types of HPV,11–15 and (3) has a strong relationship to the development of squamous neoplasms.4,8,12–16 Previous epidemiologic studies are largely based on populations with the exophytic variant of genital warts (condylomata acuminata).17–19 Only a few studies have included other types of genital warts.20
