Condyloma acumianata is one of the most common virally transmitted diseases. Its prevalence has increased many fold throughout the world. Because all the currently available treatments yield low cure rates with side effects, the search for a new alternative continues. Topically, 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) has been in used for many years to treat various skin diseases. When applied topically in condyloma acuminata, 5-FU results in low cure rates with high recurrences. Therefore, intralesional 5% 5-FU is being evaluated to determine its therapeutic efficacy in condyloma acuminata.
