Abstract
We report a case of giant condyloma that developed in a pediatric heart transplant recipient. This infection progressed for several months despite reduction in immunosuppression, topical treatment, and oral cimetidine therapy. Complete resolution was observed following 7 months of topical cidofovir, without evidence of systemic toxicity or rejection.
