A clinical sign of oncogenic human papilloma virus infection: urethral condyloma
Abstract
The most common clinical symptom of HPV is the condyloma acuminata, characterized by type 6 and 11 and constitutes 90% of the infections. However, 12% of the smear specimens were found to have HPV types 16 and 18, which are actually oncogenic. This virüs which frequently infects external genitalia, infects mucocutaneous component much less frequently likewise urethra as a part of mucocutaneous component. We present a case of A 58-year-old menapousal woman consulted with gynecological and obstetrics department due to pathology report of condyloma accumunata of previously excited mass from anal region by a general surgeon. At the examination of the patient, two white clitoral condyloma with white colored tiny condyloma on the right side of the urethra were seen, both HPV 16 and 18 were detected aftetwards. Urethral condyloma acuminata of atypical location at urethral mucosa which coincided with vulvar condyloma, can be a clue for oncogenic HPV infection. We aimed to discuss the mucosal involvement of HPV which is rarer but has a high probability of being oncogenic
