Viral particles were detected in all 3 cases of verruca vulgaris, 2 cases of verruca plana, 2 cases of epidermodysplasia verruciformis and in one of 2 cases of condyloma acuminatum. All the viral particles detected in these papillomas were similar morphologically and antigenically and appeared to belong to the papilloma virus group. Vacuolation of cells in the upper epidermal layers was observed histologically in both virus-positive and virus-negative papillomas, and the histologically recognizable characteristics of virus-positive papillomas appeared to be the swelling of the nucleus, peripheral accumulation of the chromatin and clearly distinguished nucleoli in vacuolated cells. These nuclear changes were also observed electron microscopically. Malignant histological features were observed in 1 case of epidermodysplasia verruciformis, 1 case of oral papilloma, 1 case of laryngeal papilloma, and 1 case of familial intestinal polyposis. The significances of these findings are discussed. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=YasuiMasazumi en-aut-sei=Yasui en-aut-mei=Masazumi kn-aut-name=安井正純 kn-aut-sei=安井 kn-aut-mei=正純 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部癌源研究施設ウイルス部門 en-keyword=human papilloma kn-keyword=human papilloma en-keyword=electron microscopy kn-keyword=electron microscopy en-keyword=virus particles kn-keyword=virus particles END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol= cd-vols= no-issue= article-no= start-page= end-page= dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=1979 dt-pub=19791231 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=人の乳頭腫におけるウィルスの検索 en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract= en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=YasuiMasazumi en-aut-sei=Yasui en-aut-mei=Masazumi kn-aut-name=安井正純 kn-aut-sei=安井 kn-aut-mei=正純 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学 en-keyword=乳頭腫 kn-keyword=乳頭腫 END
