The word "condyloma" comes from the Greek word meaning "knob." Any knob-like or warty growth on the genitals is known as a condyloma. Venereal warts caused by human papilloma virus are known as "condyloma accuminata" (venereal warts).
The skin lesions caused by Molitor hominus are known as "condyloma subcutaneum" (molluscum contagiosum). The skin lesions associated with secondary syphilis are called "condyloma lata." They have in common with veneral warts the fact that they are both raised lesions on the vulva (or penis), but there ends the similarity.
- Condyloma accuminata are cauliflower-like, while condyloma lata are smooth.
- Condyloma accuminata are dry, while condyloma lata are moist.
- Condyloma accuminata are bulky while, condyloma lata are flat.
Surface scrapings of condyloma lata under darkfield microscopy will show spirochetes. Serologic test for syphilis (VDRL, RPR) will be positive.
