CONDYLOMA ACUMINATA of the vulva and periurethral regions are uncommon in children.1In general this condition tends to be misdiagnosed. Definitive diagnosis is dependent on biopsy of the lesion.

Report of Cases Case 1.— A 6-year-old white girl was admitted to the hospital in February 1949, with a three-month history of a small "growth" of the vulva and persistent greenish-yellow vaginal discharge.

Findings from a complete blood cell count (CBC), urinalysis, and vaginal culture were normal.

The postoperative course was uncomplicated and the child was discharged on the fifth postoperative
