Condyloma Acuminata of the Urethra in a Male Renal Transplant Recipient: A Case Report

Condyloma acuminatum (CA) is a common sexually transmitted disease associated with human papilloma virus (HPV). CA occurring in the urethra is rare and has not been reported in male renal transplant recipients. In addition, despite immunosuppressive conditions and increased risk of HPV-related malignancies in transplant recipients, HPV testing in male transplant recipients has been uncommon. Here we report a case of urethral CA in a male cadaveric renal transplantation recipient and discuss the importance of HPV testing in male transplant recipients.
