All women referred to the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, School of Medicine, State University of New York at Stony Brook, for evaluation of vulvar condylomata were reviewed to identify concurrent cervical and vaginal pathology. Over the five-year period 1981-1985, referrals to our colposcopy clinic for vulvar condylomata increased from 7.8% to 29.2%. All patients underwent a thorough history, physical examination and coposcopic evaluation of the cervix, vulva and vagina. Of the patients with vulvar condylomata, 68% had biopsy-proven cervical and vaginal pathology. While 50% of patients with cervical disease had human papillomarvirus infection alone, the other 50% had concurrent cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) or CIN only. Proper evaluation of patients with vulvar condylomata must include colposcopy of the cervix and vagina.
