Condylomata acuminata (CA) is caused by human papillomavirus (HPV). It is one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases (STD). The lesions mainly occur in the external genitalia and perianal areas, rarely involves in urethral and usually localized at the distal 3 cm of the urethral orifice. Because of the special anatomical site, treating urethral CA is challenging and it has high recurrence rate after treatment. 5-aminolevulinic acid photodynamic therapy (ALA-PDT) can successfully treat urethral CA, however, the experience of using ALA-PDT combined with wart curettage to treat intractable urethral CA is still very limited. In here, we reported an intractable urethral CA case with effective remission after receiving combination therapy. Wart curettage combine with ALA-PDT is an expeditious, economical, and well-tolerated treatment method.

Giant condyloma acuminatum (GCA), alternatively referred to as a Buschke-Löwenstein tumor (BLT), is an uncommon, benign, but locally aggressive form of verrucous carcinoma. The condition usually affects the male population under the age of 50 years; however, there have been rare reports of pediatric cases. Various risk factors such as smoking, diabetes, promiscuous behavior, poor hygiene, immunosuppression, and others are linked to the development of this condition.

Warts are caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and can involve multiple parts of skin and mucosa, of which periungual and subungual warts are the most difficult to treat. Periungual or subungual wart is verruca vulgaris growing around or under the fingernail, destroying and deforming the nail and nail bed. Currently, liquid nitrogen cryotherapy and CO laser are often used for the treatment.

Tattoos are a form of decorative body art in which pigment dyes of different colors are inoculated into the skin. It is estimated that 15-25% of general population has one or more tattoos (1), and the reasons for the popularity of this procedure may include greater social acceptance, aesthetic appeal, or perhaps the option of using laser removal techniques to eliminate unwanted tattoos. Even though modern professional tattoos are usually performed in sterile conditions, complications still occur, and with increasing numbers of people getting tattoos, the incidence of tattoo-associated side-effects presenting to dermatologists, which may be as high as 2%, is likely to increase (2).

Objectives: Condyloma acuminatum (CA) is a sexually transmitted disease with a high recurrence rate due to the rapid replication of human papillomavirus (HPV) and its subtle immune escape mechanism, which makes the diagnosis and treatment of CA in the male urethra particularly difficult. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of comprehensive treatments for male urethral CA after accurate localization of warts under ultrasound guidance.
Methods: The study included 15 men with intraurethral CA.
