BELTRAN PEREZ, Ibis et al. Giant condyloma acuminatum (Buschke-Lowenstein tumor). Rev Cubana Cir [online]. 2014, vol.53, n.3, pp. 296-302. ISSN 1561-2945.

This case report presented a 72 years-old Caucasian patient, who was referred to the Coloproctology Service because of increased volume around his anus that made it difficult for him to defecate and to sit down. He had followed several topical treatments prescribed by the dermatology service with unsatisfactory results. The lesion was histopathologically studied and the final diagnosis was giant condyloma acuminatum (Buschke-Lowenstein tumor). The patient was followed up and no recurrence has been so far observed. Buschke-Lowenstein tumor is a rare entity, being considered as a premalignant lesion caused by human papillomavirus. The ideal treatment ha not been yet found and it remains a disease of high rate of recurrence.
