Condyloma latum

This code represents condyloma latum, a specific manifestation of secondary syphilis characterized by moist, flat-topped, wart-like lesions typically found in anogenital, intertriginous, or oral areas. These lesions are highly infectious and contain spirochetes.

Use this code when documentation explicitly states the presence of condyloma latum as a sign of secondary syphilis. This diagnosis is often confirmed by serological tests for syphilis (e.g., RPR, VDRL, FTA-ABS) and clinical examination.

• Differentiate from condyloma acuminatum (genital warts caused by HPV), which is coded differently.
• Always sequence this code as a manifestation of syphilis, with the underlying syphilis code (e.g., A51.4x for other secondary syphilis) as the primary diagnosis if not already specified.
• Ensure documentation clearly identifies the lesions as "latum" to avoid confusion with other types of warts.
