Abstract
Human papillomaviruses (HPV) induce a broad spectrum of cutaneous and mucosal lesions. Phylogenetically, HPVs are classified into five genera called alpha, beta, gamma, mu, and nu.1 More than 40 alpha-HPV-types infect the anogenital region. Alpha-HPVs are divided into low-risk (LR) and high-risk (HR)-HPV-types, according to their oncogenic potential.1,2 Several alpha-HPV-types rarely (<1%) detected as monoinfections in cervical cancers are classified as probably (HPV68) or possibly (HPV26,30,34,53,66,67,69,70,73,82,85,97) carcinogenic (pHR-HPV-types).
