Giant condyloma or Buschke-Loewenstein tumor
Abstract
The Buschke-Loewenstein tumor has a malignant clinical character but is histologically similar to the ordinary condyloma. The tumor grows deeply without invading the tissues, but compresses them and causes an intense inflammatory reaction. The diagnosis is clinical. Treatment with podophyllin and radiotherapy are not effective but bleomycin may be effective. Surgery is the accepted treatment and the extent of resection depends on the extent of the tumor.
