Abstract:
We report the case of a young man who has never had any sexual contact presenting with a large scrotal lump with secondary bacterial infection. He reported no prior warts - genital or cutaneous. On examination, he had a large pink cauliform mass on the scrotum with four smaller but similar satellite lesions. Appearances were thought to be consistent with giant condyloma of Buschke and Lowenstein. Once superinfection was treated with oral antibiotics, he had a trial of imiquimod without success and was then referred to urology. After surgical excision, pathology concluded it was an inflamed fibroepithelial polyp with no malignant changes. To our knowledge, this is the first case report of a giant scrotal fibroepithelial polyp with characteristic gross warty features in an adult.
