Condyloma acuminata
HPV
Human Papilloma Virus
 Condyloma  Acuminata represents
  the most common STI
 Caused by a DNA virus that is a
  member of the Papovirus group-
  HPV
 Most Commonly seen in
  Homosexual Male population
Human Papilloma Virus
 19 % of patients with HIV have been found to
  have anal condyloma
 It is recommended
 that all patients with anal condyloma undergo
  HIV testing
Genital Warts (HPV)
 There   is NO cure for the virus.

   can spread the virus to anyone you
    have sex with.

.
     can still get HPV even when you
    use a condom.
HPV


         Human Papillomavirus

 Many types of Human Papillomavirus (HPV),
  some of which infect the genital area
 Incubation period unclear

 Can infect men, women, and newborns

 The person can easily pass it on to sex
  partners




                                              6
HPV


          Genital HPV: Two Types

   The types of HPV that infect the genital area
    are labeled “low-risk” or “high-risk”
    depending on whether they can cause cancer
    or not.
 Low-risk     HPV types can cause genital
  warts.
 High-risk HPV types can cause serious
  cervical lesions, cervical cancer, and other
  genital cancers.

                                                 7
Condylomata Acuminata
   Over 40 subtypes of HPV
 Most     common 6 and 11
   16, 18, 31, and 32 are associated with
    squamous cell carcinoma
TRANSMISSION
 Genital  warts are very
    contagious.

 Infection is Acquired
 oral,

 vaginal, or

 anal sex .
Epidemiology
·    Genital warts caused by HPV 6
and 11 are the most common
·    Direct contact with the lesion is
believed to result in spread of the
disease.

           HPV Histology
    Hyperplastic Epithelial Growth with irregular
    acanthosis and marked Hyperkeratosis
Epithelial Hyperplasia in a Condyloma

When epithelia cells are infected by
HPV, they undergo a transformation in
which they divide continuously causing a
buildup of abnormal tissue that
eventually becomes a wart
Perinuclear Halos = Koilocytosis
Features of
   CONDYLOMATA
soft, moist, or flesh colored
 appear in clusters that resemble
cauliflower-like bumps,
either raised or flat, small or large
cauliflower-like lesions
Symptoms of HPV
  discharge,
 pruritis,

 difficulty with defecation,

 anal pain,

 tenesmus,

 foul odor, and

 rectal bleeding
Manifestations
Warts are usually, small,
discrete, elevated pink to grey vegetative
excrescences

   ·   Soft, fleshy,
   cauliflower-like lesions on the skin,
   genitalia, perineum, and perianal
   regions   .
Diagnosis
For the cauliflower-like lesions, clinical
presentation is enough.
These must be differentiated from condyloma
lata and molluscum contagiosum.

  electron microscopy
   COMPLICATIONS

Cancer
  cervical cancer.
 vulvar cancer,

 anal cancer, and

 cancer of the penis (a rare cancer).

.
LOCATION of
       GENITAL WARTS
   Although genital warts are most often found
    on or inside the genitals, they can also be
    found on the mouth, eyelid, lip, nipple, and
    around the anus.
Male locations: Genital Warts

: Anal verge/canal
just inside the opening of the urethra,
 frenulum,
 head of the penis,
 coronal ridge,
 inner surface of the foreskin,
along the penile shaft.
Female locations: Genital
Warts

   Opening to the vagina,
   inner third of the vagina,
   and cervix.

Condylomata Acuminata
 Successful therapy requires accurate
  diagnosis and eradication of all warts
 All patients undergo anoscopy and genital
  examination
 Once identified, there are many different
  treatments depending on disease progression
 Each treatment has advantages and
  disadvantages
Treatment Modalities
 1. Podophyllin- cytotoxic chemical agent
  very toxic to normal skin. Can only be used
  on external warts.
.
 Local complications include necrosis, fistula,
  and anal stenosis
 Multiple treatments are usually required
 Other caustic agents are available
 Eg. Bichloracetic Acid
Immunotherapy
   2. A Vaccine is created and the patient is
    vaccinated with six consecutive weekly
    injections
HPV Vaccine - Gardisil
   Approved for use in women only, 9-26
       Recommended at ages 11-12
       Catch-up older patients
       3 vaccine series (0,2,6 mo)
   Efficacy varies, outcomes studied vary
       But efficacy in the 90+ percentile for reduction of
        type-specific dysplasia
   Targets HPV 6/11,16/18
       Based on primary capsid proteins
Immunomodulators
     (Imiquimod/Aldara)
 3. Imidazoquinolines- a new class of
  immune-response modulators
 Mechanism of action unknown, but thought to
  play a role in cytokine-induced activation of
  the immune system
 Application 3/week qhs x 16weeks
Condylomata Acuminata
 Two therapies that are more commonly
  practiced today are interferon injections
  and Aldara (imiquimod) cream
 Both therapies are very potent with many
  side-effects
 LFT’s should be checked routinely with
  interferon injections
 Aldara should be used every other day,
  because it can burn normal tissue and make
  it necrotic
Topical Cytostatics
 4. Chemotherapeutic agents such as 5-FU,
  Thiotepa and Bleomycin
 Bleomycin is given as an intra-lesional
  injection q2-3weeks
 70% success rate reported
Cryotherapy and Laser
                Therapy
    5. Cryotherapy- topical application of Liquid
    Nitrogen commonly used by dermatologists for the
    treatment of conventional warts


   6. Laser Therapy- work through
    thermonecrosis
   Success rate from 88-95%
   Higher rate of recurrence seen than
    electrocoagulation
   No difference in healing time, pain or scarring
    reported
Fulgaration/Electrocoagu
         lation
 7. Fulgaration with excision of a portion to
  send to pathology
 Gold Standard
 Very Painful if done too deeply, should not be
  into the dermis or fat
 Risk of stricture formation if a large area is to
  be treated
 Less than 50% have full resolution after one
  treatment
Anal Condylomata
          Summary
 External Condylomata without evidence of
  Internal Warts can usually be effectively
  treated by chemical means
 If the response is unsatisfactory, physical
  destruction by electrocoagulation is the
  preferred approach
 Obtaining tissue for pathologic confirmation,
  especially with respect to premalignant or
  malignant change is a a prudent philosophy
Sores

     Secondary Syphilis -
    Clinical Manifestations
 Represents hematogenous dissemination of
  spirochetes
 Usually 2-8 weeks after chancre appears
 Findings:
       rash - whole body (includes palms/soles)
       mucous patches
       condylomata lata - HIGHLY INFECTIOUS
       constitutional symptoms
   Sn/Sx resolve in 2-10 weeks
                                                   53

MOLLUSCUM
      CONTAGIOSUM
 Molluscum contagiosum (MC) is a common,
  self-limited, benign viral infection of the skin
  caused by a member of the pox-virus group.
 MC is transmitted by close personal contact
  including sexual contact
DIAGNOSIS


   Diagnosis is usually done on clinical grounds
    alone by the typical appearance of the lesions.

   Expression of materials stained with Giemsa,
    Wright or Gram stain reveals molluscum bodies.

   Biopsy, which shows characteristic features of
    epidermal hyperplasia.
Complications:


 Secondary infections
 Eczematization

 Conjunctivitis/keratitis from eyelid infection
DIFFERENTIAL
          DIAGNOSIS
   Acne whiteheads
    Warts
    Pyoderma
    Cryptococcosis
