RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: Giant condylomata acuminatum (GCA) also referred to as Buschke-Lowenstein tumor (BLT) is a rare tumor primarily associated with low-risk HPV 6 and 11, which is believed to be a slow growing intermediate tumor with low potential to transform into invasive cancer. CASE PRESENTATION: We presented our experience with three cases of BLT (one woman and two men). CLINICAL DISCUSSION: The three patients had surgical excision and two of them had reconstruction of the surgical defect with good clinical outcome. CONCLUSION: We highlighted the importance of early identification of symptoms, treatment options and risk of recurrence as well as primary preventive strategies.
