Condyloma acuminata can be treated with different modalities, including topical and destructive procedures. However, treatment of large recalcitrant lesions tends to be difficult with the risk of pain, scarring and recurrence. Here we report a case of a large foul-smelling condyloma acuminata, treated successfully with intralesional purified protein derivative (PPD) injections.
