Condyloma (low mag)
This vaginal biopsy is from a 28 year old woman who, on vaginal examination, exhibited a raised white mucosal lesion
with a "spiky" surface around the mid-vaginal vault. This low power magnification is from the spiky lesion. Note the
papillary squamous projections showing squamous acanthosis (widening of the parabasal layer), on a fibrovascular
finger-like core, marked parakeratosis (flattening of the pink surface squamous cells with retention of small, buttonlike nuclei).
