Condyloma acuminatum and squamous carcinoma of the vulva.

Reported is the association of condyloma acuminatum and squamous carcinoma of the vulva in three cases and condyloma followed by squamous dysplasia in a fourth case. This association has previously been reported in both male and female genitalia and in the perianal area. In our four cases, cancer or squamous dysplasia followed long-standing or extensive condyloma, but there was no evidence of transformation from condyloma to carcinoma. In one of the cases, areas of squamous dysplasia occurred in multiple foci within a large condyloma. It is not known whether condyloma acuminatum is a precancerous skin lesions, but long-standing or extensive condylomas should alert one to the possibility of carcinoma.
