Abstract Biopsies from 9 different oral papillomatous proliferations were analysed for human papilloma viral (HPV) sequences of types 1 to 19 and 21 to 26 by Southern blot analysis with 32p-labelled cellular DNA. HPV sequences were detected in 7 out of 9 biopsies obtained from individual patients. Of three cases with the clinical diagnosis focal hyperplasia Heck, two contained HPV-6 related sequences and one HPV 13. In addition, one tongue base papilloma contained HPV 11. A papilloma of the palate revealed HPV 11 sequences. HPV 6 could be demonstrated twice in the ramaining 4 oral papillomatous proliferations. Two biopsies remained negative. The data shows that HPV DNA can be regularly demonstrated in oral papillomas.
