Anorectal giant condyloma acuminatum (GCA) or Buschke and Loewenstein tumor is a very rare sexually transmitted condition caused byHuman Papillomavirus (HPV) infection which prevalence is around 0.1% among sexually active adults [1, 2]. GCA is a condition that has not been very well documented. All the literature we dispose of is based on case reviews and case reports. GCAwas frequently described as a tumor because of its clinical aggressivity, contrasting with histological benignity [3]. It is also known for its high recurrence rate which is around 66% [4, 5] and its potential for malignant transformation (56%) [4]. The consequence of these features is the variability of treatment ranging from non-surgical treatment to mutilating surgery [6]. The purpose of this work is to present a case.
