Abstract
A cell line of penile cancer from a 60-year-old Ugandan black patient has been studied by the authors. Transmission and scanning electron microscopy showed a large number of blebs and microvilli at cell surface; desmosomes were evident at TEM. Cytogenetic investigation (R-, C-, Nor-banding) showed the frequent presence of some markers: del(1p),del(1q),iso(3q),der(4),del(8p),11q+, t rob(13;14), 14p+, t rob(21;21). The epidemiology, geographical distribution, and aetiological role of human papilloma virus type 16 and herpes simplex type 2 are discussed.
