Abstract:

Verrucous carcinoma is a histopathological type of well-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma, clinically characterized by slow and continuous growth, having a local destructive character, but low metastasis potential. Condyloma acuminatum is a sexually transmitted infection caused mainly by subtypes 6 and 11 of HPV, with subtypes 16, 18 being involved in malignant transformation. We present the case of a 70-year-old woman, hospitalized for a vulvar and perineal vegetative, ulcerated, bleeding tumor, with onset 20 years ago. The therapeutic option was surgical excision of the lesions and long-term oncological monitoring.


Keywords: Verrucous vulvar carcinoma, Buschke-Löwenstein tumor, condyloma acuminatum, HPV.
