Abstract
While it was believed that genital warts were transmitted by sexual activity until recent years, challenges in diagnosis and differential diagnosis are emerged after other ways of transmission such as perinatal, horizontal, autoinoculation, heteroinoculation were shown. However, genital warts which are found in non-active sexual children, can still make clinicians think sexual abuse and evaluation of children with genital warts is a matter for clinicians. An 8-year-old boy presented to dermatology with anogenital verruca and after he was referred to our child and adolescent psychiatry clinic for sexual harrassment. Cases with this peculiarity are needed to be evaluated with consultation-liaison perspective.
