Abstract :

Bushke Lowenstein Tumour or Giant Condyloma Acuminata is a seldom seen manifestation of Human Papilloma virus types 6 and 11. The incidence is about 0.5% in the general population. Although the malignant risk is low, it warrants timely removal and management. The treatment varies from topical Imiquimod to Cryotherapy to Wide local excision. Prompt and early treatment needs to be instituted to avoid bothersome effects and to hamper the malignant progression [55–60%]. In view of high recurrence rates [65–70%], regular surveillance is mandatory. We are presenting this case to reiterate the rarity and low malignant risk, in contrary to the ominous presentation, and to highlight the importance of timely identification and management.
