title: [A Buschke and Lowenstein tumor in a female patient].
abstract: Although it presents clinically as a malignant formation, the Buschke-Lowenstein tumour is known to be a histologically benign tumour caused by a papillomavirus infection from an condyloma acuminatum. The Buschke-Lowenstein tumour is generally observed in male subjects, usually on the penis, and rarely occurs in women. A female case is reported. In the literature, human papillomavirus 6 is the most common type although types 11, 16 and 18 are also reported. Surgery is the only treatment for this tumour which recurs readily.
