A case of a 3-month old female infant with perianal condyloma acuminatum, an extremely rare occurrence, is reported. The child developed perianal warts at 2 months of age. Both parents had no genital or extragenital warts. History of sexual assault was denied. Both parents had negative VDRL tests for syphilis. The infant was treated with 20% podophyllum twice weekly for 3 weeks and the warts resolved in 4 weeks. Genital condyloma acuminatum is usually a sexually transmitted disorder. Only a few isolated cases of venereal warts have been reported in children under 6 months of age.
