Human Papillomavirus and Epstein-Barr Virus in Sinonasal Schneiderian Papillomas:<i>An In Situ Hybridization and Polymerase Chain Reaction Study</i>

Abstract excerpt

Using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), it has been recently reported that the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is present in the majority of Schneiderian sinonasal papillomas (SNP) of the inverted type and may play a role in the pathogenesis of these lesions. The reported prevalence rates of human papillomavirus (HPV) in different types of SNP is also controversial and in need of clarification. Twenty-eight SNP from...
