    Abstract:
    We detected HPV (Human Papilloma Virus) -DNA in various uterocervical lesions by in situ hybridization using biotinylated DNA probes. In cases positive for HPV, the nuclei of the epithelial cells was purple to blackish purple. In 2 of 6 cases of chronic cervicitis, HPV-DNA was detected in the outer layer of the squamous epithelium. Eleven of 19 with mild dysplasia (57.9%) showed a positive reaction in the upper one-third of the epidermis in a mainly consisting of koilocytotic cells. All 6 patients with moderate dysplasia had positive cells among the koilocytotic cells and atypical cells in the middle layer. Five of 11 patients with severe dysplasia had scattered positive cells. Two of them had atypical condylomatoid lesions. Eight of 32 patients with squamous cell carcinoma were positive for HPV-DNA, but there was no consistent distribution pattern of the positive cells.
