Abstract

Condyloma acuminatum relatively rarely involves the

urethra, and when it does it is usually only in the most distal por-
tion of the urethra. A number of treatments have been described

for urethral condylomas. These treatments are extensive and vari-
able, comprising laser treatment, electrosurgery, cryotherapy, and

topical application of cytotoxic agents such as 80% trichloroacetic
acid, 5-fluorouracil cream (5-FU), podophyllin, podophyllotoxin, and

imiquimod. Laser is still considered to be therapy of choice for treat-
ment of intrauretral condylomata. We present the case of a 25-year-
old male patient with meatal intraurethral warts who was success-
fully treated with 5-FU, after many unsuccessful treatment attempts

with laser treatment, electrosurgery, cryotherapy, imiquimod, and
80% trichloroacetic acid.
