ABSTRACT
Cancer of the uterine cervix has been related to HPV infection, based on clinical and laboratory data.

Eleven patients (35.5%) had related lesions 4 (12.9%) with condyloma acuminatum; 5(16.1%) with lesions revealed by magnified examination after reaction with 5% acetic acid and 2(6.5%) with condyloma and subclinical lesions. A short-term follow-up confirmed a successful treatment with podophyllin
