[Buschke-Lowenstein Tumor associated to nasopharyngeal condillomatosis].

Abstract

Giant Acuminata Condyloma or Buschke-Lowenstein Tumor (BLT) is a rare disease characterized typically by its perineal location, local aggressiveness and its cauliflower-like aspect. BLT is associated with Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) infection. Because malignant transformation of BLT is high, radical local excision and histopathological examination are needed. We report a 26-year-old male, seropositive for HIV with giant verrucous lesions in the inguinal, perineal, suprapubic and genital area. Rectosismoidoscopy revealed anal canal involvement. Oropharyngeal papillomatosis was also found. Wide local excision was performed, including inguinoperineal and oropharyngeal lesions. Pathology studies show papillomatosis with koilocytes and no evidence of malignant transformation.
