Giant Condyloma of the Uterus: MigratingDisease?
Journal Title: Gynecology and Obstetrics Research – Open Journal - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Genital Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is the most common sexually transmitted infection. Although most infections are asymptomatic, a proportion of these infections will result in clinical symptoms. Giant condyloma is an uncommon clinical manifestation of a low-risk HPV infection. In this case report we describe a unique presentation of a giant condyloma in the uterine cavity of a 59-year old women with a long history of abnormal cervical smears who presented with postmenopausal bleeding. HPV type 11 was detected.
