Abstrakt: Condylomata acuminata are sexually transmitted lesions caused by human papillomavirus. They mainly occur in the anogenital area and exceptionally in the nasal cavity. We here report a new case of uncommon detection. The study involved a HIV-positive female patient with recurrence of vulvar condylomata acuminata treated in the department of gynecology. She was referred to our department with pink masses in the nasal cavity preventing nasal breathing and evolving over several weeks. Clinical examination and computerized tomography (CT) scan suggested condylomata. Surgical treatment was performed under general anesthesia and endoscopic control; the histological examination showed condylomata acuminata. The postoperative course was simple, with no recurrence after 6 months of follow-up. Condylomata acuminata in the nasal cavity are rare or even exceptional; only very few cases have been described in the literature. They commonly affect young subjects with or without HIV infection, having sexual risk behavior and can occur in several areas, in particular in the genital area. In this case, nasal lesions could result from hand-mediated transfer. Surgical treatment is effective and long-term follow-up is essential to treat possible recurrences.
