Abstract
Giant condyloma acuminatum or Buschke-Lowenstein tumor (TBL) is a rare disease that arises on the male and female external genitalia. TBL arises from the confluence of multiple condylomata acuminata and it is induced a Human Papillomavirus infection. TBL presents a clinical malignancy, but it is known to be a histologically benign tumor, even if it carries a risk of malignant transformation. It is advisable to treat it early. After a review of the literature, three cases of giant condyloma acuminatum, treated by combined CO2 Laser surgery excision-vaporization and which underwent a long-term follow-up are described.Entities:
