Anyone have an easy way to remember the difference between condyloma lata and condyloma accuminata?

Condyloma lata---a secondary syphilitic eruption of flat-topped papules, found at the anus and wherever contiguous folds of skin produce heat and moisture
condyloma acuminatum---a warty growth on the external genitals or at the anus, consisting of fibrous overgrowths covered by thickened epithelium showing koilocytosis, due to sexually transmitted infection with human papilloma virus; malignant change is associated with particular types of the virus.

I used a non-scientific way of remembering ;-)
Lata - syphLLis - fLat - pappuLes - Ls everywhere
acuminata = accumulated papillae = papilloma virus
