Abstract

Condylomata Acuminata (CA) is an infectious disease caused by Human papillomavirus (HPV) presenting as epidermal hyperplasia. CA is characterized by a long course of disease, easy recurrence after treatment and a potential risk for skin cancer. Traditional treatments for CA include topical remedies and surgical treatments. In addition to being painful and possible scarring, most conventional treatments are accompanied by a high rate of recurrence. And it is difficult to achieve the desired therapeutic effects with traditional treatment strategies. 5-Aminolevulinic Acid (ALA)- mediated Photodynamic Therapy (ALA-PDT) can selectively destroy CA in the epidermis and ensures a better efficacy with fewer side effects such as scarring, which is important for the anogenital region. We report here a series of 66 cases of refractory anogenital CA treated with ALAPDT combined with tretinoin and all lesions were completely cured without recurrence. We believe that ALA-PDT combined with tretinoin can be used as an efficient and safe option to treat refractory anogenital CA.
