RESUMEN

Introducción: El carcinoma de células de Merkel (MCC) es un tumor cutáneo maligno agresivo y de mal pronóstico. La incidencia es mayor en adultos hombres, caucásicos, con edad promedio de 70 años. Feng et al, lograron aislar un nuevo virus en muestras de este tumor, que denominaron virus polioma de células de Merkel (MCPyV). Se ha intentado establecer una relación causal entre el virus y MCC. El virus está integrado al genoma y produciría mutaciones específicas. En muestras de MCC, se ha detectado expresión de oncoproteinas virales (antígenos T) que promueven la replicación viral y tumorogénesis


Introduction: Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is an aggressive malignant cutaneous tumor with poor prognosis. Most cases affect elder patient with an average of 70 years of age. Feng et al isolated a new virus, the Merkel cell carcinoma polyoma virus (MCPyV). A causal relationship between MCPyV y MCC has been established. The virus is integrated in the genome and pro-duces specific mutations. MCC samples show ex-pression of viral oncoproteins (T antigens) that promote viral replication and tumorogenesis.

RESUMEN

Abstract: The oncogenic role of high-risk HPV in anogenital, head and neck, and cervical cancer is well recognized, but not in skin cancer in the general population. Some authors have demonstrated their appearance mainly on the hands and feet, particularly in the area of the nail bed, which could be due to contamination with HPV types from anogenital regions. Here, we describe a case of genital HPV associated with SCC on the nose tip in an immunocompetent young man, which was confirmed by histopathological findings and in situ hybridization. The importance of this report is to highlight the potential role of HPV in the etiology of skin cancer in an immunocompetent individual.

RESUMEN

Cutaneous human papillomaviruses (HPVs) include β- and γ-HPVs, in addition to a small fraction of α-HPVs. β-HPVs were first isolated from patients with the rare genetic disorder Epidermodysplasia verruciformis, and they are associated with the development of nonmelanoma skin cancer at sun-exposed skin sites in these individuals. Organ transplant recipients also have greater susceptibility to β-HPV infection of the skin and an increased risk of developing nonmelanoma skin cancer. In both immunosuppressed and immunocompromised individuals, cutaneous HPVs are ubiquitously disseminated throughout healthy skin and may be an intrinsic part of the commensal flora. Functional analysis of E6 and E7 proteins of specific cutaneous HPVs has provided a mechanistic comprehension of how these viruses may induce carcinogenesis. Nevertheless, additional research is crucial to better understand the pathological implications of the broad distribution of these HPVs.

RESUMEN

Abstract Merkel cell carcinoma is an uncommon neuroendocrine carcinoma with a rising incidence and an aggressive behavior. It predominantly occurs in older patients, with onset occurring at a mean age of 75-80 years. Recognized risk factors are ultraviolet sunlight exposure, immunosuppression, and, more recently, Merkel cell polyomavirus. We report a case of Merkel cell carcinoma in a young HIV positive patient with Merkel Cell polyomavirus detected in the tumor.

RESUMEN

Abstract: BACKGROUND: Angiosarcoma is an aggressive, malignant neoplasm of vascular or lymphatic origin. Herpes virus 8 (HHV-8) is a member of the herpes family with a tropism for endothelial cells and it has been proven to induce vascular neoplasms, such as Kaposi's sarcoma. The role of HHV-8 in the pathogenesis of angiosarcoma has not been well defined. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relationship between the presence of HHV-8 and angiosarcoma. METHODS: In this study, the team investigated the relationship between the presence of HHV-8, as determined by polymerase chain reaction, and angiosarcoma, using samples from patients with epidemic Kaposi's sarcoma as controls. RESULTS: While all control cases with epidemic Kaposi's sarcoma were positive for HHV-8, none of the angiosarcoma cases was. CONCLUSION: These findings support most previous studies that found no association between HHV-8 and angiosarcoma.

RESUMEN

Abstract The association of mycosis fungoides and kaposi’s sarcoma in HIV-negative patients is a rare phenomenon. The presence of human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) – associated with all forms of Kaposi’s sarcoma – has also been recently identified in mycosis fungoides lesions. However, a causal association between HHV-8 and the onset of mycosis fungoides has not been established yet. The present case reports a patient who developed Kaposi’s sarcoma lesions after a two-year UVB phototherapy to treat a mycosis fungoides. Negative immunohistochemistry staining for Kaposi’s sarcoma-associated herpesvirus in the initial mycosis fungoides lesions strengthens the absence of a link between Kaposi’s sarcoma-associated herpesvirus and mycosis fungoides. Immunosuppression caused by the lymphoma and prolonged phototherapy were probably the contribut ing factors for the onset of Kaposi’s sarcoma.

RESUMEN

Sarcoides são tumores fibroblásticos, considerados os tumores de pele mais comuns em pele de equinos e que raramente apresentam regressão espontânea. Papilomavírus bovino (BPV) tipos 1 e 2 são relacionados com a patogenia do sarcoide e, provavelmente, o BPV tipo 13 (BPV13), recentemente descrito, também pode estar associado com a formação dessa lesão. Neste estudo, 20 amostras de lesões cutâneas, sendo 12 constituídas por tecidos frescos e 8 amostras de tecido fixado em formalina e embebido em parafina, provenientes de 15 cavalos foram utilizadas para a identificação do DNA de BPV. A análise histopatológica (HE) confirmou todas as lesões como sarcoide. Para a amplificação do DNA de papilomavírus (PV) foram realizadas três reações de PCR. Como triagem, os primers IFNR2/IDNT2 foram utilizados para amplificar um fragmento da ORF L1 do PV. O segundo par de primersutilizado é complementar a sequência dos genes E5 e L2 de BPVs 1, 2 e 13. O terceiro par de primers(FAP59/FAP64) utilizado tem o gene L1 como alvo. A primeira e a segunda PCRs permitiram amplificar produtos em todas as amostras avaliadas. Entretanto, na terceira reação, na qual foram utilizados os primers FAP, foi possível amplificar produtos com tamanho molecular esperado somente nas amostras constituídas por tecidos frescos. O sequenciamento de nucleotídeos e as análises filogenéticas realizadas nos fragmentos E5L2 resultaram na identificação de BPV1, 2 e 13 em 14 (70%), 2 (10%) e em 4 (20%) amostras de sarcoides, respectivamente. As amostras de sarcoides de um dos animais continha somente o DNA de BPV1. Entretanto, nas amostras provenientes do segundo cavalo foi possível identificar o DNA de três tipos de Deltapapillomavirus bovino (BPV1, 2 e 13) em lesões distintas. Este estudo ratifica a presença do DNA de BPV1, 2 e 13 em lesões de sarcoides em equinos, além de identificar três tipos de BPVs em um mesmo animal e descrever pela primeira vez no Brasil a presença de BPV1 e 2 nesse tipo de lesão.


Sarcoids are fibroblastic lesions, which are considered as the most common skin tumors of horses; spontaneous regression rarely occurs. The bovine papillomavirus (BPV) types 1 and 2 may be involved in the pathogenesis of sarcoids, and probably the recently described BPV type (BPV13) might be associated with the pathogenesis of this lesion. This study characterized the DNA of BPVs in sarcoids from 15 horses from Brazil by analyzing 20 cutaneous lesions (12 recently collected; 8 from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues). Histopathology confirmed the proliferative lesions as sarcoids. Three PCRs were performed to amplify papillomavirus (PV) DNA. For screening, the primers IFNR2/IDNT2 were used to amplify a fragment of the PV L1 ORF. The second primer set was complementary to a common sequence of the E5L2 genomic region of BPV1, 2, and 13. The third primer pair (FAP59/FAP64) targeted a fragment of the PVs L1 ORF. The screening and E5L2 PCRs yielded amplicons in all samples evaluated. The FAP amplicons identified BPV1, 2, and 13 only from fresh tissue samples. The phylogenetic analyses of E5L2 resulted in the identification of BPV1, 2, and 13 in 14 (70%), 2 (10%), and 4 (20%) sarcoids, respectively. Two horses demonstrated multiple lesions: the sarcoids of one of these contained only BPV1 DNA and those of the other contained three types of bovine Deltapapillomavirus (BPV1, 2, and 13). This study confirmed the presence of BPV1, 2, and 13 DNA in equine sarcoids. Moreover, these findings represent the first description of three types of BPV diagnosed in the same horse, as well as the first confirmation of BPV1 and 2 in horses from Brazil.

RESUMEN

Background: Human T-lymphotropic virus-1 (HTLV-1) infection has been associated with the pathogenesis of cutaneous T cell lymphomas (CTCL). Aim: To search for HTLV-1 DNA in skin biopsies of patients with CTCL. Material and Methods: A retrospective study was conducted using 25 biopsies of patients with CTCL. DNA was extracted from lymphoid tissue by microdissection. A nested PCR was conducted to detect HTLV-1 genome using primers for the tax region. As negative controls, four cases of superficial perivascular dermatitis were chosen. As positive controls, five cases of T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATCL) were studied. Results: A positive reaction was found in 3 of 25 cases. These biopsies corresponded to a case of Mycosis Fungoides, a case of CD30 (-) T-cell lymphoma and a case of lymphomatoid papulosis. Search was negative in the four cases of superficial perivascular dermatitis and positive in four cases of adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATCL). Conclusions: HTLV-1 DNA search in tissues is a useful tool recommended to study T-cell lymphomas. HTLV-1 infection only occurs in sporadic cases but may contribute to tumor aggressiveness and prognosis.

RESUMEN

To find out presence of nonmelanoma skin cancer [NMSC] in a series of 13 patients with diagnosis of epidermodysplasia verruciformis [EDV]. This prospective descriptive study detailed the clinical presentation of patients with EDV associated with nonmelanoma cutaneous malignancy between 2007 and 2010 presenting to Dermatology OPD Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences, Islamabad. Patients were diagnosed on clinical basis. Patients with all ages and both sexes were included. Skin biopsies were taken from lesions with suspicion of malignancy, stained with hematoxylin and eosin and studied in collaboration with histopathologist. Different histopathological findings were recorded and results analyzed. 13 cases were studied for presence of NMSC. NMSC were found in 3 [23%] out of 13 patients. Actinic keratosis was found in 2 patients and one patient had seborrheic keratosis with suspicious lesions. The clinically suspicious lesions should always be biopsied, as cutaneous malignancy is a well-known, frequent and serious complication of EDV and there is high potential in these patients to develop premalignant conditions

RESUMEN

El rol oncogénico de los virus en las neoplasias cutáneas es conocido por el hombre desde hace más de un siglo, cuando se atribuía el origen de la verruga vulgar al virus papiloma humano (VPH). En la actualidad, las neoplasias inducidas por virus pueden agruparse en tumores sólidos y procesos linfoproliferativos. Destacan entre los primeros el VPH, del cual ahora conocemos numerosos serotipos, cada uno vinculado a una neoplasia específica, el herpesvirus humano tipo 8 que produce el sarcoma de Kaposi y el poliomavirus vinculado al carcinoma de Merkel. Entre los procesos linfoproliferativos debemos mencionar al virus linfotrópico de células T humanas tipo 1 (HTLV-1) responsable de los linfomas de células T, en los cuales el compromiso cutáneo es inespecífico, con un amplio espectro de presentaciones clínicas y, que por consiguiente, plantean un reto para el diagnóstico diferencial. En este grupo también se encuentra el virus Epstein Barr vinculado a los linfomas nasales de Células NK/T y a los linfomas tipo Hidroa, de reciente descripción. En esta era en la que lo genético y lo molecular priman en las investigaciones en cáncer, no podemos dejar de lado el concepto de neoplasia como resultado de la infección por un agente viral, lo que abre una nueva veta de posibilidades de tratamiento anticanceroso basado en medicamentos antivirales.


The oncogenic role of viruses in cutaneous neoplasms has been known by humankind for more than a century, when the origin of the common wart, or verruca vulgaris, was attributed to the human papilloma virus (HPV). Currently, virus-induced cutaneous neoplasms may be grouped into solid tumors and lymphoproliferative disorders. HPV, from which various serotypes are now known, each being linked to a specific neoplasm, the human herpes virus type 8 producing Kaposi sarcoma, and the Merkel cell polyomavirus, highlight among the first group. Regarding the lymphoproliferative disorders, we should mention the human T-lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-1), which is responsible for the T-cell lymphomas, in which the cutaneous manifestations are non-specific and have a wide spectrum, thus posing a challenge for differential diagnosis. The Epstein Barr virus, linked to nasal lymphomas of NK/T-cells and Hydroa-like cutaneous lymphomas, is also part of this group. In an era in which the genetic and molecular aspects of cancer research prevail, we may not leave behind the concept of neoplasms as a result an infection with a viral agent, which opens a wide array of new possibilities for cancer treatment based on antiviral drugs.

RESUMEN

O papilomavírus humano (HPV) é um vírus DNA que apresenta tropismo por células epiteliais, causando infecções na pele e nas mucosas. A replicação do HPV ocorre no núcleo das células escamosas e o seu ciclo de vida é diretamente relacionado ao programa de diferenciação da célula hospedeira. Até o momento, foram completamente caracterizados cerca de 100 tipos diferentes de HPVs e há um grande número adicional de tipos ainda não sequenciados. Além de ser o responsável por lesões benignas de pele e mucosas, o HPV também está envolvido no desenvolvimento de diversos tumores cutaneomucosos: doença de Bowen, cânceres de pele não melanoma e carcinomas genitais. Esta revisão aborda as características do HPV, quadros cutâneos e mucosos benignos e malignos causados por ele e os principais métodos empregados em sua detecção e tipagem.


Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a DNA virus that presents tropism for epithelial cells, causing infections of the skin and mucous membranes. Replication of HPV occurs in the nuclei of squamous cells and its life cycle is directly related to the differentiation program of the host cell. To date, nearly 100 different types of HPV have been characterized and there is a large number of other types that have not been sequenced yet. Besides being responsible for benign lesions of the skin and mucous membranes, HPV is also involved in the development of various mucocutaneous tumors: Bowen's disease, non-melanoma skin cancers and genital carcinomas. This review discusses the characteristics of HPV, malignant and benign mucous and skin manifestations caused by HPV, besides the main methods of detection and typing of the virus.

RESUMEN

FUNDAMENTOS - O DNA viral pode atuar como oncogene, favorecendo o desenvolvimento de neoplasias, como as linfoides e da pele. Entre esses vírus, encontram-se alguns herpes-vírus humanos. OBJETIVO - Identificar a presença de DNA do herpes-vírus humano tipo 1 em neoplasias epiteliais pré-malignas,malignas e pele normal de indivíduos controle, avaliando seu papel na carcinogênese. MÉTODOS - Identificação, por reação em cadeia da polimerase, do DNA viral do tumor e pele sã de 41 pacientes e comparação com grupo controle, sem neoplasia. Análise estatística: Testes de Fisher e de McNemar. RESULTADOS - O vírus foi identificado em 20 indivíduos sem e em 21 com neoplasia. Destes últimos, 11 o expessaram apenas nas células tumorais. A diferença, entretanto, não foi estatisticamente significante. CONCLUSÕES - Parece não haver relação direta entre o encontro do DNA viral na pele sã e na pele tumoral. Sua presença pode facilitar o desenvolvimento da neoplasia ou apenas coincidir de se localizar onde esta já ocorreu.


BACKGROUND - Viral DNA may act as an oncogene, especially in skin and lymphoid organs. This group includes some human herpes virus. OBJECTIVE - To identify human herpes virus type 1 DNA in pre-malignant and malignant skin samples of epithelial tumors comparing to normal skin to determine its role in carcinogenesis. METHODS - Forty-one patients with epithelial tumors were submitted to biopsies from tumor and normal skin. The control group comprised 41 biopsies from patients with other dermatoses than cancer. After DNA extraction, polymerase chain reaction was performed to identify 199-bp band. The results were statistically evaluated by Fisher and McNemar tests. RESULTS - The virus was identified in 20 subjects without cancer and in 21 with skin cancer. From these, 11 expressed it only in tumor cells. This difference was not significant. CONCLUSION - There seem to be no direct relation between viral findings in normal skin and skin cancer cells. It may act as a promoter or just coexist at the same site where a neoplastic transformation has already occurred.

RESUMEN

Estudios epidemiológicos y experimentales han confirmado el rol del Virus Papiloma Humano (VPH) en la patogénesis del cáncer de piel no melanoma (CCNM) en pacientes inmunosuprimidos, con epidermodisplasia verruciforme (EV) y en pacientes trasplantados. El rol que juega este virus en pacientes inmunocompetentes está aún por ser demostrado. Objetivos: Determinar la presencia de VPH mucosos y EV relacionados en tumores cutáneos no melanoma, queratosis actínicas y en piel sana de pacientes inmunocompetentes.Material y Métodos: Se analizaron 19 biopsias de tumores de 18 pacientes con carcinomas basocelulares, 10 biopsias de 4 pacientes con carcinomas espinocelulares, 4 biopsias de 3 pacientes con queratosis actínicas; y 33 biopsias de piel perilesional de nevos extirpados de 33 sujetos control. Todas estas muestras fueron analizadas mediante PCR usando primers estandarizados para la búsqueda de VPH mucosos (partidores GP5+/GP6+) y EV-VPH (partidores CP65-CP70 y CP66-CP69). Resultados: No se detectaron VPH mucosos ni EV relacionados en ninguna de las muestras analizadas.Discusión: Las biopsias de los pacientes inmunocompetentes no se asociaron a una infección detectable por VPH. Este estudio no apoya la asociación en nuestra población entre la infección por VPH y el desarrollo de cáncer de piel no melanoma en sujetos inmunocompetentes.


Epidemiological and experimental studies have confirmed the role of human papillomavirus (HPV) in the pathogenesis of non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) in immunosuppressed patients, in patients with epidermodysplasia verruciformis (EV), and in recipients of organ transplant. The role of this virus has not yet been demonstrated in immunocompetent patients. Objectives: To determine the presence of mucosal HPV and EV-HPV in non-melanoma cutaneous tumors, actinic keratosis and healthy skin in immunocompetent patients.Methods: 19 tumor biopsies (fresh frozen tissue) from 18 patients with basal cell carcinoma, 10 biopsies from 4 patients with squamous cell carcinoma, and 4 biopsies from 3 patients with actinic keratosis, as well as 33 biopsies of perilesional skin from nevi from 33 control subjects. All samples were analyzed via polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using standardized consensus primers for the detection of mucosal HPV (GP5+/GP6+) and EV-HPV (CP65-CP70 and CP66-CP69). Results: Mucosal HPV and EV- HPV were not detected in any of the biopsies of the study patients, despite external positive controls and excellent DNA quality.Conclusions: The biopsies of the immunocompetent patients were not associated with a detectable HPV infection. Our data do not support the role of HPV as an etiologic factor in NMSC in immunocompetent patients.
