Abstract

Condyloma acuminatum is a manifestation of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. The genital warts tend to occur in areas most directly affected by coitus, namely external genitalia, perineum and perianal areas. The warts are highly contagious; more than 75% of sexual partners developed when exposed. We have experienced one case of microscopic and hysteroscopic cauterization of extensive condyloma acuminatum to lessen injury of skin and mucosa. We presented this case with a brief review of literature.
