Buschke-Löwenstein tumor: verrucous carcinoma of the anogenitalia

Cutis. 1991 Apr;47(4):263-6.

Abstract

Buschke-Löwenstein tumor is a rare type of anogenital squamous cell carcinoma with a distinctive clinical appearance. We present the case of a thirty-four-year-old man with this tumor, which was excised surgically. Human papillomavirus was detected in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded sections with a human papillomavirus 6/11 probe, but not with a human papillomavirus 16 or a human papillomavirus 18 probe.
