Abstract:
DNA of HPV 16 was detected in the DNA isolated from the papillary lesion which was found on the right ovary of a pregnant women during cesarean section. The epithelium covering the papilloma stained by an indirect immunoperoxidase technique demonstrated progesterone specific receptors. Therefore, we suggest that the virus and hormone can increase the risk of malignant conversion in study cells.
