Abstract
- We report a case of cutaneous horn originated frorn condyloma acuminata in a 25 year-old man. The patient showed yellowish brown hyperkeratotic masses on the prepuce, coronal sulcus and multiple asymptomatic pinkish cauliflower-like projections in both inguinal folds and perianal area. Skin biopsies were taken from the base of the penile lesions andinguinal, perianal area exhibited marked hyperkeratosis and parakeratosis in addition to the typical findings of condylorna acuminaturn. In situ hybridization technique for Human papilloma virus(HPV) showed positive reaction to HPV 11. All lesions were removed by surgical excision, electrocauterization and podophyllin application, but condyloma acuminatum recurred several times thereafter.
