title: Scrotal Buschke-Lowenstein tumor in an AIDS patient.
abstract: Giant condyloma acuminatum, also known as Buschke-Lowenstein tumor, is a slow-growing neoplasm notable for its size and presentation in the anogenital region. A viral etiology suggests it should be more common in the immunocompromised; however, few reports exist in the literature. The evaluation, treatment, and role of preventative measures are reviewed.
