Giant Condyloma Acumina or Tumor of Buschke And Lowenstein During Pregnancy: About A Case at The University Hospital of Angré, Abidjan

Abstract

We are reporting a rare case of giant condyloma diagnosed in a young woman with a full-term pregnancy. It is a benign tumor of viral origin that may constitute a dystocia of soft tissue during pregnancy. It is transmitted mainly by sexual transmission and the virus responsible is Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) of the types 6 and 11. It is a tumor whose benignity is related to the presence of non-oncogenic HPV. It is characterized by its recurrent and invasive evolutionary power enabling to classify it as a borderline tumor, which could explain its severity. It is a tumor that most often occurs in an immunocompromised area, but in our observation, retroviral serology was negative. The treatment is essentially surgical and must be early and radical. Its prevention is imperative, based on the treatment of acuminated condylomas and the fight against sexually transmitted diseases.
