ABSTRACT
We describe a 42-year-old man with AIDS and Hodgkin's lymphoma whose severe and recalcitrant cutaneous warts resolved following treatment with local 1% cidofovir. Clinically significant improvements were observed in a two-week period of therapy. In advanced HIV disease complicated by additional haematological malignancy, cutaneous warts may be difficult to treat and present a challenge for the attending physicians. In similar clinical condition topical anti-human papillomavirus therapy may prove to be safe and curative.
