Similar situation is encountered in Korea, with concordant increase in number of HIV-infected patients requiring surgical management, a high proportion being anal condyloma acuminata, which needs proper evaluation and management due to its malignant potential. Since, we have had a recent case with surgical intervention, we review the pathogenesis and treatment modality of the disease in this paper.
