Anal warts

This slide reveals anal warts, which are not synonymous with anal intercourse. They can occur because of self-inoculation or from rubbing by an infected partner. Although clinically visible exophytic lesions are rarely associated with cancer, colposcopy is recommended for warts of the cervix and anus.
