Abstract

Buschke-Lenstein tumour (BLT) also known as giant condyloma acuminatum, is a verrucous lesion of genitoanal region cause by human papilloma virus subtypes 6 and 11. It is a rare entity with less than 100 cases reported so far. Poor hygiene, promiscuity, chronic irritation are the risk factors identified. A 52 year old male presented with a large perianal condyloma. Extensive surgical excision was done. Patient is recurrence free 10months since surgery. This aggressive tumor can recur and undergo malignant transformation. We report the following case of perianal Buschke-Lenstein tumour for its rarity.
