Abstract

Giant Condyloma Acuminata also known as Buschke-Lowenstein tumor is a relatively rare sexually transmitted disease. It is characterized by rapid growth, local destruction, lack of spontaneous resolution, poor response to conservation therapy and high recurrence rate. Human Papilloma Virus has been implicated as an etiologic agent for this tumor. Radical excision of the lesion is generally recommended as the first line of therapy and close vigilance & follow up are essential.We report a case of 25 year old male who presented with large, exophytic mass in the perianal region which was surgically excised and after histopathological examination diagnosis of  Buschke-Lowenstein tumor was made.
