Atypical urethral condyloma acuminatum presenting diagnostic challenges in a resource-limited setting: a case report
This case compellingly demonstrates the essential requirement for increased clinical vigilance and diagnostic flexibility in the management of urethral condyloma, especially in resource-constrained settings. It demonstrates that atypical presentations, even without classic risk factors or high-risk human papillomavirus detection, mandate reliance on histopathological confirmation for accurate diagnosis and prognostication. The successful outcome via excisional biopsy underscores its practicality and effectiveness as a primary intervention for such complex cases in resource-constrained environments, offering valuable learning for similar global health contexts.
