Anal carcinoma in an HIV-infected woman.
A 42-year-old HIV-infected woman with an antecedent of HPV-related genital disease is diagnosed with invasive anal carcinoma due to HPV 16. Anal cancer is becoming an increasing problem in HIV-infected woman. In fact, the prevalence of HPV infection-related disease in this population is higher in the anus than in the cervix.
