J. Bornstein et al., DEVELOPMENT OF VAGINAL ADENOSIS FOLLOWING COMBINED 5-FLUOROURACIL ANDCARBON-DIOXIDE LASER TREATMENTS FOR DIFFUSE VAGINAL CONDYLOMATOSIS, Obstetrics and gynecology, 81(5), 1993, pp. 896-898
Background: The management of vaginal human papilloma-virus (HPV) lesi
ons may be difficult. We report an unusual long-term consequence of tr
eatment. Case: A 40-year-old woman presented with vaginal adenosis fol
lowing treatment of multiple vaginal condylomata by endovaginal applic
ations of 5% 5-fluorouracil cream and vaporization of the remaining su
bclinical condylomata by CO2 laser. Conclusion: The approach to the ma
nagement of vaginal condylomatosis should take into consideration the
possible later occurrence of adenosis.
