[Buschke-Löwenstein tumor: report of 2 clinical cases].
In our department two cases of Buschke-Löwenstein tumor were up to day observed. The first case, a man 51 years old, showed a big exophytic growth all over the glans, plus some similar lesions all along the shaft of the penis, besides a bilateral inguinal lymphoadenopathy. The second case was that of a man 70 years old, presenting a single exophytic growth on the glans. Both cases underwent a surgical excision of the lesions. The first patient had a local relapse after one year and a second one after further four months, which were both surgically exsected. Today, both patients are disease-free, being elapsed twelve years and sixteen months respectively. Surgical excision seems therefore to answer well the clinical problem, as for as the rarity of distant spread, the feasibility of conservative removal or reiteration, should it the case, are concerned.
