Description

Extragenital condylomata acuminata refers to genital warts that occur outside the genital area, typically caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). These lesions can appear on various parts of the body, including the anal region and other skin areas, and may require medical evaluation for proper management.

Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should be aware that patients may refer to these lesions using more general terms like 'verrugas' or 'papilomas', which can lead to confusion. It is crucial to maintain the clinical terminology 'condilomata extragenital acuminata' in formal contexts to ensure clarity and accuracy. Avoid using colloquial terms that might not convey the specific medical condition.

Example Sentences

EN: The patient was diagnosed with extragenital condylomata acuminata after presenting with lesions in the anal region.

ES: El paciente fue diagnosticado con condilomata extragenital acuminata después de presentar lesiones en la región anal.

Common Interpreter Mistakes

Confusing with intragenital warts; mispronouncing 'acuminata'; using overly general terms like 'verrugas' without specifying location.
