Cutaneous human papillomavirus infection and Basal cell carcinoma of the skin. journal of investigative dermatology Ally, M. S., Tang, J. Y., Arron, S. T. 2013; 133 (6): 1456-1458

Abstract

Human papillomavirus (HPV) is ubiquitous in skin and has been associated with nonmelanoma skin cancer. Iannacone et al. investigate the role of HPV in basal cell carcinoma (BCC) by assessing the presence of HPV antibodies, HPV DNA in tumors, and the relationship between these two markers and BCC. In contrast to squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), there is no association between HPV and BCC.
