title: Photodynamic therapy of condyloma acuminatum in a child.
abstract: Conventional therapies for condyloma acuminatum in children are often associated with unsatisfactory response and high recurrence rate. Here, we present a 9-year-old girl with vulvar condyloma acuminatum successfully treated with topical 5-aminolaevulinic acid mediated photodynamic therapy. 5-aminolaevulinic acid mediated photodynamic therapy is a promising therapy for condylomata acuminata in children.
