DDS Back to Classification Condyloma Acuminatum Figure 1. These papillary exophitic lesions are condyloma acuminatum. The lesions are generally transmitted through sexual contact and become clinically evident after a period of incubation of around one month.
Lesions develop generally perianally or on the genitals.
The oral mucosas may be involved as well, preferentially the nonkeratinizing mucosas such as lip, soft palate, floor of the mouth and lateral borders of the tongue. The gingiva is seldom affected. Some of the oral lesions are the result of autoinoculation from the genital lesions. Intraorally these lesions can be single or multiple, generally starting as smooth slightly elevated papules with a color similar to that of normal mucosa. The papules tend to coalesce to form larger lesions.
