Abstract
Condyloma acuminatum is a human papillomavirus (HPV)-induced disease that affects the mucosa and skin of the anorectum and genitalia. This condition is rarely observed in the oral mucosa. Here, we report a case of multiple condyloma acuminatum in the mouth of a 37-year-old HIV-infected male. The patient, who was a smoker, reported irregular use of antiretroviral drugs. Physical examination revealed multiple, whitish lesions, with a vegetative aspect, that were distributed over the palate, tongue, lip, buccal mucosa, and gingiva. An incisional biopsy was performed, and the histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of condyloma acuminatum. The treatment plan included the surgical removal and chemical cauterization of lesions with trichloroacetic acid. However, there were some recurrences during the course of treatment. This case demonstrates the importance of correct diagnosis and planning for HPV-induced lesions, because of the risk for recurrences.
