    Notes: We have previously cloned human papillomavirus type 82 (HPV-82) from a vaginal intraepithelial neoplasia, but it is not known whether HPV-82 can induce a cutaneous lesion. A large erosive nodule developed on the scrotum of a 50-year-old Japanese patient. Histopathologically, the lesion was composed of two distinct parts; one part showing changes characteristic of Bowen's disease in the epidermis, and the other showing elongated rete ridges and proliferation of atypical basaloid cells in the dermis. These parts were partially connected, giving the diagnosis of Bowen's carcinoma. Immunohistochemically, HPV capsid antigen was detected only in the nuclei of a few cells on the upper part of the epidermis. HPV-82 was identified in the lesion by blot hybridization and viral DNA was demonstrated in the lesion by in situ hybridization. HPV-82 has tropism for both the skin and the genital regions.

    Notes: Summary Background Human papillomavirus type 60 (HPV-60) induces a ridged wart or an epidermal cyst on the sole of the foot, exhibiting identical pathological changes, with a single refractile eosinophilic intracytoplasmic inclusion body in infected cells. However, there is no information on the role of HPV-60 in the development of cutaneous lesions on other anatomical sites. Objectives To perform the clinicopathological analysis of various cutaneous lesions of a patient in relation to HPV genotype. Patient A 50-year-old male patient developed multiple papules, plaques and nodules on his hand, arm and legs. Results Clinicopathologically, the lesions were classified into three categories. A common wart on the finger showed papillomatosis and acanthosis characterized by numerous keratohyalin granules. Plane warts on the arm showed perinuclear vacuolization of the cells in the upper Malpighian layer. On the other hand, a pigmented papillomatous nodule on the finger, and the other lesions on the hands and legs exhibited similar histological features with a unique cytoplasmic eosinophilic inclusion body. All the three categorized lesions were equally positive for HPV capsid antigen by immunohistochemistry. By blot hybridization analysis for HPV sequences, it was revealed that a common wart on the finger and plane warts on the arm harboured HPV-27 and HPV-3, respectively, while all the other lesions harboured HPV-60. The histological localization of each viral DNA was confirmed in the corresponding lesions by in situ hybridization. Conclusions HPV-60 is able to induce papular and nodular lesions on the extremities.

    Notes: Human papillomavirus (HPV) can be detected in skin lesions of Bowen's disease, particularly on the fingers, and its genotype is associated with mucosal/genital types of HPV. We report herein an 85-year-old woman who had HPV-associated Bowen's disease on her elbow. HPV-58 DNA was detected in the lesion by polymerase chain reaction with restriction fragment length polymorphism and by Southern blot hybridization. In situ hybridization revealed numerous hybrid cells in the nuclei of the upper epidermis and stratum corneum of Bowen's disease. A high-risk type of mucosal HPV-58 DNA is associated with Bowen's disease in this case, suggesting that HPV-related Bowen's disease is not always restricted to genital or finger lesions.

    Notes: Background Epidermodysplasia verruciformis (EV) is a rare skin disease characterized by disseminated pityriasis versicolor-like or flat wart-like lesions and by the development of skin carcinomas. It is well established that specific cutaneous human papillomaviruses (EV–HPVs) are associated with both benign and malignant skin lesions in EV patients. However, little is known of the relationship between HPV and the mucosal lesions of EV patients. Objectives To detect and identify HPV types associated with skin and mucosal lesions of an EV patient. Patient/methods We investigated the skin carcinoma and the coexisting tonsillar carcinoma of a 41-year-old man with EV. Histopathologically, both lesions were squamous cell carcinomas. We analysed these two lesions by immunohistochemistry, in situ hybridization, and by molecular virology. Results Neither skin nor tonsillar lesions exhibited positivity for HPV capsid antigen by immunohistochemistry. By Southern blot hybridization, however, the skin carcinoma harboured ‘EV-specific’ HPV20 DNA, while the tonsillar carcinoma harboured ‘genital’ HPV16 DNA. In addition, in situ hybridization localized the respective viral DNA in the corresponding lesion. Conclusions The results indicate that EV–HPV could be responsible for the development of the skin carcinoma, but not the mucosal carcinoma in this patient.

    Notes: Abstract: Osteoporosis is a major public health problem in Japan. The second decade is an important period in which to attain a high peak bone mass. However, normal values of forearm bone mineral density (BMD) are not well known in children and adolescents. BMD at one-third of forearm length proximal to the ulnar end plate (BMD1/3) and the ultradistal forearm (BMDud) was measured using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) in 1207 (631 males, 576 females) Japanese subjects aged 9–18 years. Puberty onset was assessed by questionnaire, by obtaining the time that pubic hair appeared in males and the time that menstruation started in females. BMD1/3 and BMDud increased steadily with age in males. In relation to puberty development, these parameters also increased after puberty onset although the increase in BMD1/3 was not statistically significant after the fifth year from puberty onset and that of BMDud was not significant after the sixth year from puberty onset. BMD1/3 and BMDud increased with age and then plateaued in females. The increase in BMD1/3 was not statistically significant after 15–16 years of age and that of BMDud was not significant after 13–14 years of age. In relation to puberty development, the increase in BMD1/3 leveled out after the fourth year from puberty onset and that of BMDud also plateaued after the third year from puberty onset. We provide reference values of forearm BMD in Japanese children and adolescents by DXA according to calendar age and puberty development. Peak bone mass of the forearm may be in the late second decade in Japanese females.
