This condition is Condyloma Accuminata

Condyloma Accuminata(Multiple Genital Warts)

• Cells of the basal layer of the epidermis are invaded by human papillomavirus (HPV).

• The most commonly affected areas are the penis, vulva, vagina, cervix, perineum, and perianal area.

• Approximately 90% of condylomata acuminata(multiple genital warts) are related to HPV types 6 and 11.

• These 2 types are the least likely to have a neoplastic potential.

• Risk for neoplastic conversion has been determined to be moderate (types 33, 35, 39, 40, 43, 45, 51-56, 58) or high (types 16, 18).

• HPV is most commonly associated with anogenital carcinomas, which includes cervical carcinomas.

Certain human malignancies are associated with viruses.

1. Burkitt’s lymphoma (Epstein-Barr virus)
2. Hepatocellular carcinoma (hepatitis viruses)
3. Cervical cancer [human papillomavirus (HPV)]
4. T cell leukemia (retroviruses)
