Giant Vulvar Condylomata: Two Cases and a Review of the Literature

Abstract EN

Introduction.

Giant vulvar condyloma is usually associated with the HPV subtypes 6 and 11 and is characterized by excessive growth of verrucous lesions on the genitals and/or perianal region.

It may be observed in sexually inactive as well as sexually active women.

Immunosuppression plays an important role in the development of the disease.

Patients and Methods.

We report two cases of giant vulvar condyloma together with the review of the literature.

Results.

One case was a 21-year old sexually inactive woman with a history of Type 1 Diabetes.

Second case was a 20-year-old sexually active woman with a rapidly progressing disease and cervical dysplasia.

Both cases were operated; all the condylomatous structures were resected with preservation of the anatomy and clitoral innervation and blood flow.

Skin and subcuticular dehiscence was the only complication encountered in the first case.

Conclusion.

Main treatment of giant vulvar condyloma is surgical resection with maintenance of the vulvar anatomy.

Preservation of especially the clitoral innervation as much as possible is very important.
