Surgery, Condyloma acuminata is the most common sexually
transmitted disease found in young, sexually active population and mostly seen
in the colorectal practice.
Condylomas have been well known in history with physicians of
ancient Roman Empire calling them as “figs” which were thought to result from
excessive sexual exploits. The term “acuminatum” means “pointed” and was used
to distinguish condyloma acuminatum from condyloma lata, the “broad” condyloma
of syphilis.
Giant condyloma acuminatum or Condylomata gigantea (commonly
known as Buschke-Lowenstein tumor) is a rare, aggressive, slow growing;
fungating variant of condyloma that is usually found in the genital and perianal regions but may
affect any portion of the anogenital region.
