Abstract
Condylomata acuminata (genital and anal warts) are common disease may be venereal or non venereal. They are fairly soft, pink, friable, verrucous lesions that occasionally coalesce into cauliflower-like masses. They are infectious, usually sexually transmitted, and found on the moist parts of the genitalia and rectum(Blaustein,1982).
Despite the generally benign nature of the proliferations, certain types of HPV can place patients at a high risk for anogenital cancer(Chuang and Brashear, 2005).
Treatment of GW is aimed at destruction of the warty growths rather than elimination of the virus. Choice of therapy depends on the morphology and extent of warts and should be guided by the preference of the patient, available resources, and the experience of the health-care provider(von Krogh, 2001).
Aim of the study
The aim of this essay is to review aetiology, epidemiology, clinical picture, differential diagnosis, carcinogenesis of the genital warts and to evaluate the efficacy of available treatment modalities for genital warts to assess the success rate of each type.
