Genital condylomata acuminata (CA) are common, sexually transmitted lesions, caused most often by the human papilloma virus (HPV) types 6 and 11. They affect both females and males and occur in all regions of the anogenital area. Conventional treatment, often involving repeated local drug application or invasive methods, has not been definitively demonstrated to be effective in eliminating CA lesions and preventing them from recurring. This review summarizes the current literature on epidemiology, transmission and diagnosisof CA with special focus in the treatment.
