Giant condyloma (Buschke-Löwenstein tumor). A case report.

چکیده
Buschke-Löwenstein tumor (BLT), or giant condyloma acuminatum, is a rare sexually transmitted disease. The virus responsible for condyloma is human papillomavirus, usually serotype 6 or 11. A BLT 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. We report the case of a 44-year-old male patient with a 2-year history of a penoscrotal Buschke-Löwenstein tumor.
