AI Article Synopsis
- The human papillomavirus (HPV) can cause condyloma acuminata, a type of benign growth that appears in the vaginal canal, particularly affecting fertile women during pregnancy.
- Hormonal changes and vaginal secretions cause these lesions to grow rapidly when a woman is pregnant, which can lead to risks like spontaneous abortion, preterm delivery, and placental abnormalities.
- While there are various treatment options for HPV-related lesions, their effectiveness remains uncertain, and treatment during the first trimester might increase the risk of miscarriage, as illustrated by a case of a young woman experiencing vaginal lesions early in her pregnancy.
Article Abstract
The human papillomavirus can induce condyloma acuminata, a benign papillomatous squamous growth with a fibrovascular core that arises in the vaginal canal. These illnesses typically afflict women who are fertile and are frequently encountered during pregnancy, manifesting with a variety of symptoms. The influences of hormones and vaginal secretions cause the lesion to expand quickly during pregnancy. Viral infections are known to be one risk factor for threatening abortions. Infection with human papillomavirus (HPV) during pregnancy has been associated with a risk for spontaneous abortion, preterm delivery, and abnormalities in the placenta. There are many therapeutic approaches available to address the disease; however, it is still unclear which one is the most successful. Additionally, organogenesis is crucial throughout the first trimester, and treatment during this period may elevate the risk of spontaneous abortion. Here, we describe the case of a young woman who experienced vaginal lesions during the first trimester of her pregnancy.

Background: Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a common infection of the anogenital tract. Although most infections clear, persistent infections with oncogenic types can predispose to cancer. While the natural history of anogenital HPV infection in cisgendered women is relatively well understood, there are significant knowledge gaps regarding HPV prevalence and clinical implications of genital HPV infection in transgender women (TGW) with neovagina(s).

Human papillomavirus (HPV) infections rank as the most prevalent sexually transmitted infections globally. The Brazilian Ministry of Health recommends the topical use of 70%-90% trichloroacetic acid (TAA) for treating condyloma acuminata, yet this method suffers from a high recurrence rate of 36% and requires roughly six applications. Topical photodynamic therapy (PDT) has shown effectiveness in targeting subclinical lesions, but it also necessitates multiple sessions for complete lesion clearance.

Department of Dermatology, University of Florida College of Medicine, Gainesville, Florida.
Infantile perianal pyramidal protrusion is characterized by a light pink to skin-colored soft tissue protrusion that is often midline and anterior [A1]to the anus. It most commonly occurs in young females and is relatively asymptomatic. Although biopsies are not routinely done, histopathology is relatively nonspecific and can appear similar to an acrochordon.
