Condylomata acuminata lesions, commonly known as anogenital warts, are caused by human papillomavirus and manifest as flesh-coloured or hyperpigmented papules or plaques in the anogenital region. We report the case of a previously healthy young child that presented with anal condyloma lesions without other accompanying symptoms. His mother had similar lesions in the genital area. After careful investigation, no evidence of sexual abuse was found. Gradual clinical improvement was observed without treatment. This case highlights a disease that, when diagnosed in children, should alert the physician to the possibility of sexual abuse. However, other transmission routes, such as vertical transmission or autoinoculation and heteroinoculation during non-sexual contact, should also be considered. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
