Abstract
A 69-year-old woman had a 4-year history of recurrent giant condylomas (Buschke-Lowenstein tumor) in the anal and perianal regions, with extension to the vulva and vagina. After failure of 3 surgical excisions, one of which was radical, the condition was successfully treated using carbon dioxide laser vaporization and systemic interferon therapy. After 3 years of follow-up, the patient has not experienced a recurrence. © 2010 AAGL.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
