[Differentiation of condylomata acuminata from pseudocondyloma by using multiple primer pairs polymerase chain reaction].

Condylomata acuminata were differentiated from pseudocondyloma by using multiple primer pairs polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique. The paraffin-embedded tissues of 95 cases of condylomata acuminata and 33 cases of pseudocondyloma were detected for HPV DNA. Results show that HPV 6/11 DNA are found in 86/95 (90.5%) cases of condylomata acuminata, and no HPV DNA is detected in 33 cases of pseudocondyloma. The results suggest that pseudocondyloma is not associated with HPV. Multiple primer pairs PCR technique is a preferable method for differentiating condylomata acuminata from pseudocondyloma.
