Condyloma (medium mag)
In addition to the previously-described findings, note a neutrophilic infiltrate of inflammatory cells. The most likely HPV serotypes to cause this lesion are 6, 8, or 11, which tend to cause benign, exophytic, genital warts involving the vulva, the vagina, and the cervix.
The whole lower genital tract is at risk and the patient will have to be followed closely for the development of higher grade squamous intraepithelial lesions or invasive cancer, if she is exposed to high risk serotypes, mainly 16, 18, 31, and others.
