Büschke-Lowenstein tumour in pregnancy

Eur J Obstet Gynecol Reprod Biol. 2003 Nov 10;111(1):88-90. doi: 10.1016/s0301-2115(03)00112-x.

Abstract

During pregnancy a localised human papillomavirus (HPV) lesion may, in rare cases, develop into a Büschke-Lowenstein tumour. The choice of treatment is crucial as standard systemic treatment is teratogenic. We performed laser CO2 microsurgery because it has a low incidence of complications.
