UNLABELLED Study Type - Prognosis (cohort) Level of Evidence 2b What's known on the subject? and What does the study add? In animals, anogenital distance has been shown to be related to the action of fetal androgens, and exposure to chemicals such as dioxins that exhibit antiandrogenic activity results in shorter distances in male rats. In studies conducted in children, anogenital distance has ...

We would like to thank Oguz Kutlu A for her close interest in our paper entitled “Anogenital Distance in Turkish Newborns”. In our study (1), we used caliper for the measurements as Oguz Kutlu A did in her study (2). We compared our anogenital measurements to those obtained in previous studies in the literature (including Oguz Kutlu’s study) according to the measurement method used, as shown in...

OBJECTIVE To describe the treatment pattern of condyloma acuminata in female. MATERIAL AND METHOD The 5-year medical records of 449 women treated for genital condyloma acuminata at the Gynecologic Infectious Diseases and Female Sexually Transmitted Disease (GID-FSTD) unit were reviewed. Data included the distribution of age, client by category, anatomical site and size, serologically coexisti...

Department of Dermatology, Concord Repatriation General Hospital, Concord, NSW 2139, Australia A 72-year-old man presented with a 10-year history of phimosis. Circumcision revealed a large, warty mass on his glans. Biopsy demonstrated condyloma acuminata. Over one year they failed to respond to cautery, cryotherapy and topical imiquimod. Further biopsies confirmed that the lesion was histopatho...

Beta-lactamase-negative Neisseria gonorrhoeae infections were treated with single-dose cefoperazone (0.5 or 1.0 g) or spectinomycin (2.0 g). Anogenital infections were cured in 36 (83%) of 43 volunteers given 0.5 g of cefoperazone, 61 of 61 volunteers given 1.0 g of cefoperazone, and 99 of 100 volunteers given spectinomycin. The cefoperazone geometric mean MIC for 242 isolates was 0.028 microgr...

Human papillomavirus (HPV) causes a variety of anogenital cancers and is considered the primary cause of anal canal cancer 1,2. Anal cancer is a rare disease: a total of 4650 diagnoses of anal carcinoma and 690 deaths were expected in the United States in 2007, with approximately 40% of the diagnoses and deaths being expected to occur in men. Other than cervical cancer, anal cancer was expected...

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...

Previously ectopic breast tissue was thought to be derived from the caudal remnants of the primitive embryonic milk ridges; anogenital mammary-like glands are presently considered as normal constituents of the anogenital region. We report a case of young female, who presented with an anal papilloma. Histopathological examination revealed extensive fibrocystic changes in anogenital mammary-like ...

OBJECTIVES--To investigate the relationship between clinical findings and the detection of human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA in a range of anatomical sites in patients with and without anogenital warts. SUBJECTS--Men and women with a clinical diagnosis of anogenital warts, or a current partner with anogenital warts. SETTING--A department of genitourinary medicine in central London. METHODS--The an...
