Giant anorectal condyloma acuminatum of buschke-lowenstein: successful plastic reconstruction with bilateral gluteal musculocutaneous v-y advancement flap.

ABSTRACT: A 58-year-old male patient presented with an anorectal verrucous carcinoma, also known as Buschke-Lowenstein tumor. Clinically, the lesion of the patient best resembled giant condyloma acuminatum with a cauliflower-like appearance. The diagnosis was confirmed with biopsy and an abdominoperineal resection was performed. The perineal defect was reconstructed with bilateral gluteal musculocutaneous V-Y advancement flap. Both functional and cosmetic results 6 years after the operation were excellent. To date, no recurrence has been noted. As long as one is aware of its existence and of its characteristic appearances, the Buschke-Lowenstein tumor is fairly easily diagnosed. The treatment of choice remains surgical resection, and adequate follow-up is essential.
