ABSTRACT: Buschke-Löwenstein
tumor (BLT), or giant condyloma acuminatum, is a rare sexually transmitted
disease with a potentially fatal course. The virus responsible for condyloma is
human papillomavirus, usually serotype 6 or11. ABLT is always preceded
by condyloma acuminatum and may occur at any age after puberty. It is
characterized by invasive growth and recurrence after treatment, and malignant
transformation is possible. There is no general agreement on the choice of treatment
for this tumor. Wide radical excision with plastic reconstruction of skin
defects seems to be the best treatment, while adjuvant therapies, such as
radiotherapy and immunotherapy, may achieve good results, but their
effectiveness is still unclear. We report 3 cases of 32- and 40-year-old males
and a 38-year-old female with an approximate 5-year history of a perianal BLT.
