Abstract

Malignant transformation has been described in 30% of cases of giant anorectal condyloma acuminatum. The authors report on a 33-year-old man who was heterosexual and HIV negative and who had a giant anal condyloma. Despite aggressive therapy with multiple fulgurations, interferon alpha and isotretinoin, an invasive squamous cell carcinoma of the rectum developed. An abdominoperineal resection was done followed by radiotherapy and chemotherapy, but this treatment regimen was unsuccessful in controlling the progression of his carcinoma. Human papillomavirus (HPV) serotyping in tumoral tissue was positive for HPV types 11 and 16. In patients with giant anorectal condylomas associated with oncogenic HPV, the course of the disease may be aggressive, so they may benefit from early surgical and medical intervention.
