AbstractBackground. The relationship between Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and carcinomas of the lower female genital tract has been the focus of some studies in recent years. However, the association between EBV and penile carcinoma never has been investigated. The aim of this study was to identify the possible role of EBV in penile carcinoma of Chinese patients. Methods. Formalin fixed, paraffin embedded tissue of 42 cases of penile carcinoma (including 7 verrucous, 14 well differentiated, 15 moderately differentiated, and 6 poorly differentiated squamous cell carcinomas), 6 penile warts, and 9 normal penile samples were analyzed for EBV using in situ hybridization for EBV-encoded RNA (EBER). Results. Epstein-Barr virus was only found in a few lymphocytes adjacent to the tumor epithelium in 12% (5 cases) of penile carcinoma. Conversely, the tumor cells, penile warts, and normal penile tissue were negative for EBV. Conclusions. The results suggest that EBV does not play a major role in the etiology of penile carcinoma.
