May one speak of precancerous lesion in the presence of perianal condyloma acuminata? In literature there are numerous reports of neoplastic transformation of anal condylomatosis to such an extent as these reports are comparable to extra-mammary Paget’s disease, to the giant condylomatosis of Buschke-Lowenstein and Bowen’s disease. Risk factors for malignant or premalignant change were: sexual orientation (homosexual or bisexual), HIV status and location above the dentate line. In our experience, in cases correlation between anal squamous carcinoma and condylomatosis has been established, it had occurred in 1 case, 18 months after local excision; another following radiotherapy cycle, a development at the same site of the surgical operation with metastasis in an inguinal lymph node. This latter case induces us to deem how necessary a meticulous follow-up in patients submitted to local excision of anal condylomas.
