ABSTRACT
Perianal condylomatosis is one of the most frequent sexual transmitted diseases and it is caused by the human papillomavirus. Most of the patients with this condition have the antecedent of anal intercourse, and the presence of the human papillomavirus is strongly related with immunosuppression associated with human immunodeficiency virus. Many treatments had been used and proposed, but none of them offers complete resolution of the disease because they are associated with significant recurrence rates. The use of imiquimod and podofilox is very effective in small lesions. Surgical excision is preferred in bigger lesions and in combination with other treatments such as electrocoagulation, cryotherapy and CO
2 laser vaporization. The use of imiquimod, interferon and immunotherapy is combined for avoiding recurrences. It is recommended to combine the treatments and to follow-up the patients, mainly during the first three months, which is the period of greater recurrence.
