AI Article Synopsis
- A 37-year-old male developed severe anal condylomata acuminata following high-dose chemotherapy and stem cell transplantation for follicular non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
- The anal warts were extremely difficult to treat, leading to significant disability and ultimately necessitated a diversion colostomy.
- The case highlights the connection between cellular immunodeficiency from aggressive cancer treatment and the development of anal condylomata.
Article Abstract
We report the case of a 37 years old male patient who developed severe anal condylomata acuminata after high-dose chemotherapy and autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for follicular non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Anal warts were particularly disabling, refractory to the treatment and finally imposed diversion colostomy. The role of cellular immunodeficiency observed after high-dose chemotherapy and autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation as etiology of anal condylomata is discussed.

Diagnosis of perianal pyramidal protrusion in infants.

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.

Perianal Paget's disease (PPD) is a rare skin adenocarcinoma that arises in the apocrine glands of the perianal region. It is often misdiagnosed as eczema, leukoplakia, squamous cell carcinoma, Bowen's disease, lichen planus, or condylomata acuminata. We report a case of a 63-year-old male who presented to the emergency room (ER) for evaluation of an anal mass that had persisted over 6 months.

Department of Dermatology and Venerology, Medical University of Innsbruck, Innsbruck, Austria.
Background: In this study, we characterized the HPV genotype distribution in a population of 489 adults already positive for HPV DNA. The study population was divided into two groups: 244 HIV-positive (HIV+) men who have sex with men (MSM) undergoing routine anal screening for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and 245 women undergoing routine cervical cancer screening. Acknowledging the fact that women and MSM represent two independent circles of sexual practices, which are-largely-exclusive of each other, we were interested in determining if particular genotypes of human papillomavirus (HPV) disproportionately predominate in one of these circles compared to the other.

Article Synopsis
- - The study examined anal cancer screening practices among high-risk populations, including people living with HIV, those with HPV-related issues, and organ transplant recipients, using clinical data from an academic medical system between 2015 and 2022.
- - Results showed that only 6.3% of the 7,654 patients had anal cytology screening, with significantly lower rates among women and Black patients, who were 73% and 46% less likely to be screened respectively.
- - The findings highlight the need for improved and equitable screening strategies, as only 21.7% of people living with HIV received screening, while other high-risk groups had even lower rates.

Article Synopsis
- HPV is the most common sexually transmitted infection, and its vaccination has been part of Germany's national immunization program since 2007, but uptake rates are still low.
- A study analyzed healthcare claims data to assess the impact of this vaccination program on HPV-related diseases in women aged 28 to 33, comparing data from before and after the program's introduction.
- Results showed significant reductions in cervical precancers, anogenital warts, and vaginal precancer/cancer, indicating the vaccine's effectiveness and the potential benefits of increasing vaccination rates in Germany.
