- Abstract
Buschke-Lowenstein tumor (BLT) is a rare giant condyloma acuminatum of the anogenital region, first described by Buschke and Lowenstein as a potential malignant condyloma acuminatum.1 The incidence is estimated to be 0.1% in the general population. The disease affects men more frequently than women (ratio = 2.7:1); the mean age of onset is approximately 45 years.2 BLT usually emerges as a slowly growing cauliflower-like tumor of the anogenital region, which easily infiltrates the adjacent tissues.3 BLT is a sexually transmitted disease; human papillomavirus (HPV) is an important factor in its development. Negative Pressure Therapy (VACUlta, KCl) was then applied as postoperative dressing to keep the matrix in position, without interrupting the silicone sheet (Figure 2C).7 The final histological report confirmed the bioptic diagnosis of BLT, with margins free of disease.
