Abstract
Human papillomaviruses ( HPV) are commonly associated with mucocutaneous infections in a child. Several HPV types can cause anogenital warts. Their occurrence in childhood should require some consideration and careful examination to mean their transmission. We report a new case of vulvar wart in an 8-year-old child diagnosed initially as hymeneal polyps. Dermatological examination showed a gelatinous and erythematous lesion surrounding the urethral meatus and another violaceus tumor tapioca seeds like in the vulva. Histological examination was compatible with a vulva wart and the detection of viral typing revealed HPV2.
