[Anal condyloma: its management is still difficult].

Anal condylomas result from papillomavirus infection, the most common sexually transmitted disease. The principal risk is the development of cancer of the anal canal. The risk of contamination is high, even after a single sexual contact. No specific antiviral treatment is available and no consensus has been reached on the appropriate treatment of anal condylomas. Despite the development of various methods (interferon, imiquimod), electrocoagulation remains the treatment of choice. Finally, regular follow-up and treatment of the partner(s) are essential.
