abstract: Condyloma acuminata are the most frequent cause of infections in the anal genital area. They are caused by the human papilloma virus (HPV). Risk factors are early onset of sexual activity, multiple sexual partners, a history of sexually transmitted disease, and immunosuppression. The urethra is afflicted in only 20% of cases; of these, 80% of the warts are at the meatus and 20% in the proximal urethra. This article reports on two cases with condyloma acuminata affection of the total urethra. The current diagnostic, different treatment modalities, and prophylaxis are reviewed.
