Résumé

Le condylome acuminé géant (CAG) ou tumeur de Buschke-Lowenstein est une tumeur qui affecte principalement les secteurs génitaux et périanaux. Malgré l’aspect histologique bénin, il se comporte comme une tumeur maligne en détruisant les tissus adjacents. Le human papillomavirus (HPV) est l’agent causal. Le risque du CAG est le taux élevé de récidive locale et la dégénérescence maligne en carcinome épidermoïde. Nous décrivons un cas de CAG dégénéré.

Abstract

Giant condyloma acuminatum (GCA) or Buschke-Lowenstein tumor is a tumor that primarily affects the genital and perianal areas. Despite the histologically benign appearance, it behaves in a malignant fashion, destroying adjacent tissues. The human papilloma virus is the causative agent. The hallmark of GCA is the high rate of local recurrence and transformation into squamous cell carcinoma. We describe a case of GCA complicated by malignant transformation.
