title: Condyloma acuminatum.
abstract: Condylomata acuminata, an HPV infection, is a major health concern. The incidence is rising in the young population, and there is no specific therapy. Aggressive HPV viral types, increasingly found in HPV-related infections, suggest that the affected population will experience a dramatic increase in genitourinary neoplasms during the next decade. Until an HPV-specific vaccine is developed we must treat this difficult condition with nonspecific destructive therapy.
