[The male factor in the incidence and persistence of condyloma of the cervix and intraepithelial cervical neoplasms].

From 1988 to 1990, prospectively, were studied 113 masculine couples (males), and 113 women, treated for intraepithelial cervical neoplasia, alone, or associated to viral infection by human papilloma virus-80 males were asymptomatic (70.7%). Colposcopy and local application of acetic acid, were needed for the diagnosis of 69.9% of lesions, which presented with a gray color to a brilliant white color. Papulous lesion, (56.70%) was most frequent; and the classical lesions as condyloma acuminatum, were 15.52%; urethral cytology was positive for condyloma (one condyloma in 30%), and biopsies in 91.66%. There were persistence and recidiva, nonsignificant, when the man had received treatment suggesting that the treatment does not alter the appearance of condyloma, nor cervical intraepithelial, neoplasia.
