Total excision and V-Y plasty technique in the anal area condyloma acuminatum

Condyloma acuminatum is located in the perianal region, anal canal, vagina and the perineum. It is caused by human papillomavirus types 6 and 11. A 18 year-old man was admitted to the clinic because of a perianal mass. On examination of the patient′s perianal area and inside the anal canal, a mass was found, which was nearly 8 x 8 cm in size. We could not obtain any information about venereal transmission. The mass was totally excised and the defect was reconstructed with a bilateral V-Y advancement flap. This technique has been used for sacrococcygeal, ischial and other defects but rarely used for condyloma acuminatum. We think that total excision and the use of the V-Y advancement flap technique is safe and has low morbidity in the treatment of condyloma acuminatum.
