J Urol. 1975 Feb;113(2):195-8. doi: 10.1016/s0022-5347(17)59441-0.

Abstract

Twenty patients have had successful eradication of intraurethral condyloma acuminata by the intraurethral instillation of 5 per cent 5-fluorouracil cream. Avoidable complications are scrotal irritation and meatitis. Endoscopic examination is delayed until distal lesions have been eradicated. The method is safe, inexpensive, painless, and effective.
