Condyloma acuminatum is an HPV-related lesion best described as:

• A. HPV lesion With Villous Projection
• B. Bacterial Skin Infection
• C. Fungal Infection
• D. Benign Lipoma

Answer: (A)

Condyloma acuminatum is a lesion caused by human papillomavirus, typically types 6 and 11. It appears as soft, moist, cauliflower-like growths in the anogenital area, with a characteristic verrucous, finger-like (villous) surface. This villous architecture reflects the viral-induced epithelial proliferation seen in HPV warts. It’s not a bacterial or fungal infection, and it’s not a lipoma, because those do not have the viral-induced papillary, projecting warty appearance. So the description that best fits is an HPV lesion with villous projection.
