Condyloma (high mag)

 

 

In this high power magnification the fingerlike papillae are cut in cross section but the parakeratotic layer is evident and

contains rare koilocytes (the pathognomonic cell of human papilloma virus).  Two koilocytes are located inferior and

to the left of the most superficial round papillae; one is binucleated and both show paranuclear clear spaces.
