Bowenoid Papulosis of the Genitalia Associated with Human Papillomavirus DNA Type 16 in an Infant with Atopic Dermatitis

摘要

Abstract:A case of bowenoid papulosis occurred in a 2‐year‐old male with atopic dermatitis. Clinical and histologic features of the lesions were typical, and human papillomavirus type 16 DNA was identified using high‐stringcncy hyhridization techniques. Although the lesions had been present for approximately one year prior to examination, they subsequently resolved spontaneously over six months. We postulate that our patient's susceptibility to human papillomavirus may have been related to his severe atopic tendency.
