Summary
Buschke-Lowenstein tumor (BLT) is rare and potentially malignant tumor which can be transformed from condyloma acuminata.Aggressive local growth, destruction, and infiltration of neighboring tissues significantly reduce the quality of life.Although various treatment modalities have been described, surgical excision remains the "gold standard" therapy and should be the treatment of choice.Reconstruction of the wound is safe and feasible using several flap and graft techniques in experienced hands.Herein, we report a case of BLT which was successfully reconstructed with cutaneous flap and split-thickness skin graft after radical excision.
