Abstract

Buschke-Löwenstein tumor also called giant condyloma acuminatum is a rare condition due to the human papillomavirus with an incidence of 0.01% and just 6 cases reported in pregnancy. There is no consensus on the treatment, although surgery has been the most reported. Clinical case: A 14 year-old primigravid patient with a 21-week pregnancy who was admitted to the Emergency Department due to a perineal painful tumor which appeared 5 months before. On physical examination two irregular exophytic, cauliflower-like and ulcerated lesions of 20 × 10 cm of size each one with malodorous discharge were found on her perineal region suggestive of giant condyloma acuminatum. We decided to resect the tumor with tumor-free margin control and healing per secundam. The pathology report showed a giant condyloma acuminatum with tumor-free margin. The PCR analysis revealed human papillomavirus genotype 53. Complete epithelialization was noted at 12 weeks with no complications noted. Conclusion: Buschke-Löwenstein tumor is considered as a benign tumor, but it carries a risk of malignant transformation and it can appear after treatment, which makes important to strengthen the prevention and screening of human papillomavirus.
