Abstract

Prostatic condyloma acuminata is a rarely encountered clinical manifestation primarily linked to low-risk subtypes of human papillomavirus (HPV), such as HPV-6 and HPV-11. Unlike the more common anogenital presentation, prostatic condyloma acuminata remains an infrequent phenomenon, necessitating a nuanced approach to diagnosis and management. We present a case report involving a 68-year-old patient with an intricate medical history, where the discovery of prostatic condyloma acuminata presented diagnostic challenges and clinical intricacies.

Keywords: Condyloma acuminata; HPV infection; Prostatic condyloma.
