Summary
Buschke-Löwenstein tumors, a type of verrucous carcinoma, can rarely occur in the buttock area. This case highlights an unusual buttock localization requiring surgical intervention.
Area of Science:
- Dermatology
- Oncology
- Surgical Pathology
Background:
- Buschke-Löwenstein tumor (BLT), also known as giant condyloma acuminata, is a rare verrucous carcinoma with aggressive local growth.
- Malignant transformation into invasive or well-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma is a known risk.
- Early diagnosis and wide surgical excision are crucial due to high recurrence rates and malignant potential.
Observation:
- A 50-year-old male presented with bilateral buttock tumors.
- Clinical suspicion of BLT was confirmed via biopsy and histopathological examination.
- Surgical reconstruction utilized VY fasciocutaneous flaps from the gluteus maximus muscle.
Findings:
- This report details an unusual presentation of Buschke-Löwenstein tumor in the bilateral buttock region.
- The case underscores the importance of considering BLT in differential diagnoses for extensive perianal and genital lesions.
- Successful surgical management involved extensive resection and reconstruction.
Implications:
- Highlights the importance of considering rare presentations of BLT in clinical practice.
- Emphasizes the need for thorough diagnostic workup and tailored surgical approaches for BLT.
- Contributes to the literature on the management of Buschke-Löwenstein tumors in unusual locations.
