DNA content of condyloma acuminatum.

Female genital condylomata acuminata were examined for DNA content. Diploid and polyploid DNA distributions, including tetraploidy and octaploidy, were found. These findings are in clear counter-distinction to squamous intraepithelial lesions, which have been found to be aneuploid. DNA quantitation, therefore, can be used in difficult cases to distinguish between condylomatous and neoplastic epithelium.
