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