Abstract

Anogenital warts are caused by the human papillomavirus (most commonly types 6 and 11, giant condylomas ― types 16 and 18) and are exophytic and endophytic growths on the skin and mucous membranes of the genital and perianal areas. There is no generally accepted classification, but based on clinical manifestations, there are: acute condylomas, papular, patchy, hyperkeratotic, and giant condyloma acuminatum (BuschkeLowenstein tumor). Anogenital warts can be the result of infection through sexual contact, which is indicated by the synonym venereal warts. Anogenital warts is a separate nosology (International Classification of Diseases of the Tenth Revision: A63.0), but can also be part of the symptom complex of immunodeficiency conditions (in particular acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) and neoplasias (squamous cell carcinoma and erythroplasia of Queyrat).
 We offer the publication of a photogallery on this problem.
