1. condyloma acuminatum
2. keratotic wart
3. papular wart
4. flat wart
Correct Answer: 3
There are four types of genital warts: condyloma acuminata, keratotic warts, papular warts, and flat warts. Papular warts are smooth lesions that also develop on keratinized skin. Condyloma acuminata are cauliflower-shaped lesions that appear on moist skin surfaces such as the vagina or anus. Keratotic warts are thick, hard lesions that develop on keratinized skin such as the labia major, penis, or scrotum. Flat warts are slightly raised lesions, often invisible to the naked eye, that develop on keratinized skin.
