Abstract:
The human papillomavirus(HPV) has been implicated in the pathogenesis of human conjunctival papilloma, becauses it has clinically viral nature and pathologically koilocytosis, typically found in other papilloma-induced tumors. To evaluate the association of HPV with conjunctival papilloma, 3 recurrent conjunctival papiloma were removed through cryo-excision and examined for the presence of human papillomavirus by polymerase chain reaction. All 3 cases were positive reactions to papillomavirus serotype 6/11, but koilocytosis was present in 2 cases.
