To do so, they can: use a mirror to examine difficult-to-see areas, especially on the bottoms of the feet and between the toes, if they have dark skin, check the areas most likely to develop skin cancer, such as the soles of the feet, inside the mouth, the
anogenital region, the palms of the hands, and other areas where the skin's pigment is not as dark.
The second theory is the presence of regional, specific and
anogenital breast-like adnexal structures.
A common diagnostic quandary is regarding
anogenital seborrheic keratosis (SK)-like lesions without identifiable koilocytes (Figure 1, C).
Lichen sclerosus is a chronic inflammatory skin disease that primarily presents in the
anogenital region; however, extragenital lesions on the upper extremities, thighs, and breasts have been reported in 15% to 20% of patients.
"Almost half of younger adolescents were reported to have a nongenital injury and over one third had an
anogenital injury," Schmitt said.
The term "Condyloma Acuminatum" was originally used to emphasize the difference between
anogenital warts, which are usually protuberant, and the flatter syphilitic lesions called Condylomata Lata.
There are over 200 strains in the human papilloma virus (HPV) family, but there are four predominant infectious strains associated with symptoms and carcinomas: HPV 6 and HPV 11 cause approximately 90% of all genital warts, HPV 16 and HPV 18 are associated with
anogenital carcinomas (1).
HPV-16 and HPV-18 are the most prevalent, high-risk HPVs responsible for causing
anogenital -- the cervix, penis and anus -- and oropharyngeal -- mouth and throat -- cancers.
Anogenital warts are benign proliferative lesions caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) types 6 and 11, found in > 95% of lesions (2, 3).
has reported topline results from a Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating the safety and efficacy of an antiviral teslexivir 5% gel for the treatment of condyloma, or
anogenital warts, the company said.
Conclusion:
Anogenital warts more commonly occurred in males in third decade of life.
