Abstract

Condyloma acuminatum caused by human papilloma virus is the most common sexually transmitted infection in the anogenital region. On the other hand, giant condyloma acuminatum that is also known as Buschke-Lowenstein tumor is a rare disease. Its primary treatment is surgical excision. The purpose of this report is to present a case that reached immense dimensions in the perianal region, and to emphasize the importance of wide surgical excision. A 17-year-old woman presented with a giant mass in the perianal region for 2 years, which progressively increased in size. Local examination revealed a large vegetative lesion in the perianal area. Wide surgical excision of the involved skin and lesion was undertaken. The wound was reconstructed by bilateral gluteal fasciocutaneous V-Y advancement flap. Response to various treatments is often poor, with a high recurrence rate. In conclusion, surgical treatment with wide excision and plastic reconstruction is an effective therapy for giant anal condylomas.
