Abstract:
Buschke Lownestein's tumour is a giant acuminate condyloma characterised by its degenerative potential, its invasive nature and its recurrence after treatment. It is a rare condition, transmitted mainly by sexual transmission and induced by to the human papillomavirus (HPV). The discussion will be illustrated by a clinical case The treatment is still under discussion but surgery seems to be the best option. Management during pregnancy is more complex since it must take into account the mother and her fetus. The delivery route is still debated. The post-treatment evolution was satisfactory and without recurrence until the delivery which, due to the antecedent of 3 caesarean sections, was carried out by cesarean section. HPV vaccination, sex education and early treatment of condyloma lesions should prevent and in any case improve the prognosis of this disease.
