Summary
Malignant transformation of nasal polyps is rare. This case highlights human papillomavirus (HPV) 51 association with squamous cell carcinoma in situ on nasal polyps, successfully treated with surgery.
Area of Science:
- Otolaryngology
- Pathology
- Oncology
Background:
- Malignant transformation of nasal polyps without inverted papilloma is exceptionally rare.
- Human papillomavirus (HPV) is linked to oropharyngeal cancers, typically through oro-genital contact.

Rous Sarcoma Virus (RSV) and Cancer
6.0K
Rous Sarcoma virus or RSV was discovered by F. Peyton Rous in the year 1911 as a filterable transmissible agent that could cause tumors in chickens. He won a Nobel Prize for this discovery in 1966. His experiments clearly demonstrated that some cancers could be caused by infectious agents and led to the discovery of many more cancer-causing viruses in animals as well as humans.

Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms-SNPs
17.7K
A single nucleotide polymorphism or SNP is a single nucleotide variation at a specific genomic position in a large population. It is the most prevalent type of sequence variation found in the human genome. Point mutations that occur in more than 1% of the population qualify as SNPs. These are present once every 1000 nucleotides on an average in the human genome. Replacement of a purine with another purine (A/G) or a pyrimidine with another pyrimidine (C/T) is known as a transition. In contrast,...
