Case of giant vulvar condyloma acuminata successfully treated with imiquimod 3.75% cream: A case report.

Condyloma acuminata, also known as anogenital warts, represent a cutaneous infection caused by sexual transmission of the human papilloma virus. We present a case of overwhelming condyloma acuminata that was treated successfully without surgery using only topical imiquimod 3.75% cream. The patient, a 66-year-old female, was referred to Dermatology for large protruding verrucous plaques that covered the entire surface of her external vulva, perineum and perianal area. These lesions developed after being treated for genital warts with cantharidin. Four other cases treated with imiquimod were identified in the literature but either required surgery, higher doses or longer duration of treatment or involved pediatric populations. In patients who are not amenable to surgery, topical imiquimod may be a novel standalone or an adjunctive therapy for giant condyloma acuminata.
