Pediatr Dermatol. 2010 Sep-Oct;27(5):542-4. doi: 10.1111/j.1525-1470.2010.01279.x.

Abstract

Conventional therapies for condyloma acuminatum in children are often associated with unsatisfactory response and high recurrence rate. Here, we present a 9-year-old girl with vulvar condyloma acuminatum successfully treated with topical 5-aminolaevulinic acid mediated photodynamic therapy. 5-aminolaevulinic acid mediated photodynamic therapy is a promising therapy for condylomata acuminata in children.
