“…Although this tropism is not absolute particularly in the pediatric population. They can also be found in the anogenital area [4]. In our patient, we guess that the possible mode of transmission was by autoinoculation.…”

Human papillomaviruses ( HPV) are commonly associated with mucocutaneous infections in a child. Several HPV types can cause anogenital warts. Their occurrence in childhood should require some consideration and careful examination to mean their transmission. We report a new case of vulvar wart in an 8-year-old child diagnosed initially as hymeneal polyps. Dermatological examination showed a gelatinous and erythematous lesion surrounding the urethral meatus and another violaceus tumor tapioca seeds like in the vulva. Histological examination was compatible with a vulva wart and the detection of viral typing revealed HPV2.

“…The association of HPV infection with sexual abuse varies with age and appears to be greater in children older than 4 years. However, age is not the only factor that should be acknowledged 1 4 10. A detailed medical and social history should be obtained, followed by a complete physical examination and a screening for other sexually transmitted infections 9–12.…”

Anogenital condylomata acuminata in young children: not always result of sexual transmission

et al. 2022

Condylomata acuminata lesions, commonly known as anogenital warts, are caused by human papillomavirus and manifest as flesh-coloured or hyperpigmented papules or plaques in the anogenital region. We report the case of a previously healthy young child that presented with anal condyloma lesions without other accompanying symptoms. His mother had similar lesions in the genital area. After careful investigation, no evidence of sexual abuse was found. Gradual clinical improvement was observed without treatment. This case highlights a disease that, when diagnosed in children, should alert the physician to the possibility of sexual abuse. However, other transmission routes, such as vertical transmission or autoinoculation and heteroinoculation during non-sexual contact, should also be considered.

“…Sexual abuse must be considered, especially if the child is more than 3 years of age. 2 A study found that male circumcision decreased the acquisition and increased the clearance of high-risk HPV in adults. 3 However, in our case the lesions started after circumcision, which may be attributed to the non-hospital setting in which it was done.…”
