摘要
Buschke-Lowenstein Tumor (BLT) or Giant Acuminate Condyloma (GAC) is an uncommon clinical entity rarely published in Cote d’Ivoire and Africa. It is a viral infection with increasing sexual transmission due to the resurgence of HIV infection. This observation is the first case recorded in our service in three decades. The treatment is resolutely surgical, in our context of sub-medicalization, in the absence of other therapeutic means. Most of the time the progression is favorable, but the prognosis can be aggravated by the HIV coinfection. Through this observation, the authors insist on the prevention of all sexually transmitted infections, particularly, with HPV and HIV, by sexual education (abstinence, fidelity, port of condom) and the systematic vaccination before any sexual activity.
