Abstract

Genital Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is the most common sexually transmitted infection. Although most infections are asymptomatic, a proportion of these infections will result in clinical symptoms. Giant condyloma is an uncommon clinical manifestation of a low-risk HPV infection. In this case report we describe a unique presentation of a giant condyloma in the uterine cavity of a 59-year old women with a long history of abnormal cervical smears who presented with postmenopausal bleeding. HPV type 11 was detected.
