Abstract

We report the case of 3-year-old girl with condyloma acuminatum. She was brought to our clinic with pruritus, painful urination and foul discharge and treated with electrocautery. Histological examination revealed acanthosis, nuclear basophilic inclusions and vacuolar degeneration. In this case, transmission of the human papilloma virus might have occurred during close, nonsexual contact with the infected mother, and the depressed immune response associated with atopic dermatitis appears to have played an important role in the development of the condyloma acuminatum infection.
