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 develop when exposed. The warts frequently increase in number and size during pregnancy, sometimes filling the vagina or covering the perineum, making it difficult to perform vaginal delivery or episiotomy. Probably small number of infants and children born of women with genital warts will become infected and develop laryngeal papillomatosis. We have experienced one case of huge condyloma acuminatum during pregnancy and presented with a brief review of literature.
