Application of Human Papillomavirus‐<scp>DNA</scp> Test on Salivary Gland Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology Samples Confirms the Absence of the Virus in Primary Neoplasms and Demonstrates for the First Time Its Presence in Salivary Intraglandular Cysts
HPV testing produced negative results in all primary salivary gland tumors, failing to confirm the potential involvement of HPV infection in the pathogenesis of salivary gland tumors. Instead, the presence of HPV DNA in samples of salivary intraglandular cysts, never reported before, may be an interesting fact, which however requires further evaluation.
