Text Extraction

The aim of the present study was to determine the presence of human papillomavirus (HPV) in tumors and sun-nonexposed normal skin from patients with basal cell carcinoma (BCC). Twenty-three patients with BCC had their tumors and axillary skin assayed for the presence of HPV by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), using degenerate primers of the L1 region. Controls were preliminarily established by using viral warts as positive control, and control axillary skin from healthy subjects as negative control. HPV was detected in 60.9% of the tumors and 43.5% of the patient’s axillary skin. This difference was not statistically significant (p › 0.05).
