Condyloma acuminatum is one of the clinical manifestations of papillomavirus infection. The classical histopathological features are already known and do not constitute a diagnostic problem. Clinically, it has been classified into growth or proliferative, full-expression, and regressive or persistent phases, with the histopathological aspects of these distinct phases being well documented in eq...

Condyloma acuminatum caused by human papilloma virus is the most common sexually transmitted infection in the anogenital region. On the other hand, giant condyloma acuminatum that is also known as Buschke-Lowenstein tumor is a rare disease. Its primary treatment is surgical excision. The purpose of this report is to present a case that reached immense dimensions in the perianal region, and to e...

Further biopsies confirmed that the lesion was histopatho...

Anogenital warts related to human papillomavirus (HPV) have been observed in children. Definition of the transmission mode, therapy, and follow-up for long term potential complications is important. A 27-month old girl was admitted with multiple pedunculated red-purple colored cauliflower-like lesions of 1.5 years duration. Clinical/histopathological and microbiological diagnosis was condyloma ...

First described in 1925, giant condyloma acuminatum also known as Buschke-Löwenstein tumor (BLT) is a benign, slow-growing, locally destructive cauliflower-like lesion usually in the genital region. The disease is usually locally aggressive and destructive with a potential for malignant transformation. The causative organism is human papilloma virus. The most common risk factor is immunosuppres...

Following very clear recommendations of the National Advisory Committee on Immunization, the Canadian government has earmarked $300 million for purchasing human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine. I am in almost complete agreement with this decision. I might be seen as biased, as I was an investigator for the quadrivalent vaccine, but I am more biased owing to the fact that I have performed thousands...

Two patients with penile skin loss who were operated in 1991 are reviewed retrospectively. In both of them skin grafting was mandatory (due to large skin defects on the penile shaft). Causative factors were localized infection in one case and verrucae accuminata in another. In both cases a random flap from the skin of the inner surface of the thigh was applied. The pedicle flap was later t...
