[Vulvar cancer originating from pointed condylomas--case report]

A vulvar cancer is demonstrated. Its origin from condylomata acuminata is discussed. The ultrastructural evidence of papillomavirusparticles within the nucleus of koilocytes are hints at a possible human papillomavirus etiology of vulvar carcinoma. Because of the malign transformation of condylomata acuminata described we recommend a consequent treatment and histologic examination of condylomata acuminata.
