The incidence of oral condylomata acuminata and simultaneous genital condylomata is not known. A review of the literature implies that the disease is rare, but it is more likely that it is only rarely reported. As the virus is autoinoculable and transmissible, the etiologic factor in this case of oral condylomata acuminatum is most likely orogenital contact. This case report serves as a reminder also that oroanogenital contact expands the anatomic range of sexually transmitted diseases.
