[Condyloma acuminatum of the urethral in a child: a case report and review of the literature].
A rare case of condyloma acuminatum of the urethral meatus in a male child is reported. The patient was five years old and developed a warty mass on the glans penis. He underwent successful resection with a Nd-YAG laser. Excised specimen showed typical characteristics of condyloma acuminatum on histology. Although the disease is thought to develop by a contact infection of human papilloma virus (HPV), the present case had no history suggesting this pathogenesis. At 4 months after operation, no disease recurrence was seen. A short review of the disease found in younger persons is also presented.
