Die Epidermodysplasia verruciformis Lewandowsky-Lutz in licht- und elektronenoptischem Vergleich mit den übrigen Papova-Virus-Akanthomen

Summary

Based on histology and electron microscopy, a series of Papova virus acanthomas consisting of 300 common warts and Condylomata acuminata as well as primary efflorescences of 7 typical and 7 questionable cases of Epidermodysplasia verruciformis have been classified. Four cytological types expressing different cytopathogenic viral actions were established. Typ 4 (“basophilic foamy giant keratinocytes”) seems to be specific for Epidermodysplasia verruciformis which thus can be differentiated histologically against ordinary warts (type 1–3).

Zusammenfassung

Aufgrund histologischer und elektronenmikroskopischer Vergleichsuntersuchungen wird das gesamte Material von cytologisch veränderten Papova-Virus-Akanthomen (300 Warzen und Condylomata acuminata; Primärefflorescenzen von 7 typischen und 7 fraglichen Epidermodysplasia verruciformis-Kranken) in vier cytologische Typen als Ausdruck morphologisch unterschiedlicher cytopathogener Viruseffekte unterteilt. Das unter Typ 4 gruppierte Kollektiv (“basophile schaumige Riesenkeratinocyten”) scheint für die Epidermodysplasia verruciformis spezifisch zu sein, womit eine histologische Abgrenzung gegenüber den üblichen Warzen (Typ 1–3) möglich wird.
