Urethral obstruction is a rare disease in women, and even more uncommon is the occurrence of acute urethral obstruction due to condylomata. This case report describes the course of one such case, unique for its progressive clinical evolution, the primary involvement of the lower urinary tract in the absence of either an obvious primary site or a history of sexual intercourse for more than 15 years, and its successful treatment with cryotherapy.
