Abstract
In human papillomavirus-associated acanthomas of the mamilla it was possible to detect DNA of HPV types 41, 6ma and a type related to type 16. The biology of HPV infection resembles that of anogenital lesions. Some of the HPV types found are rare or are thought possibly to have oncogenic potency. Possible evidence for link between HPV and carcinomas of the breast is discussed.
