Abstract:
Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) was reported for the first time in the U.S, 1981 and eversince, the number of patients have increased substantially. Similar situation is encountered in Korea, with concordant increase in number of HIV-infected patients requiring surgical management, a high proportion being anal condyloma acuminata, which needs proper evaluation and management due to its malignant potential. Since, we have had a recent case with surgical intervention, we review the pathogenesis and treatment modality of the disease in this paper.
