After extensive review of literature, only limited case reports were available of this rare entity. Herein, we present a case of condyloma acuminata of the left thigh in a 60 year old male in absence of any similar lesions on genital areas. The diagnosis was offered on cytology and histopathologically; as a result of curiosity due to its unusual appearance on gross features. We present this case due to its rarity and uncommon findings.
