Article Synopsis
- Condyloma acuminatum is usually caused by HPV and typically appears as pale, raised lesions, but some patients displayed pigmented lesions resembling seborrhoeic keratoses, which were confirmed to be HPV-positive.
- In a retrospective study, 31 patients were analyzed for these unusual pigmented lesions, with most presenting as slow-growing and located at the base of the penis or pubis, primarily exhibiting the HPV-6 genotype.
- The study concludes that these 'seborrhoeic keratosis-like' condylomas share clinical characteristics with seborrhoeic keratoses but are distinctly linked to HPV, with only a limited number of similar cases documented in existing literature.
