Giant Condylomata Acuminata of Buschke-Lowenstein Associated With Paraneoplastic Hypercalcemia:

Low-risk human papillomavirus types 6 and 11 can manifest as giant condylomata acuminata (GCA) of Buschke-Lowenstein. Up to 50% of GCA can slowly progress over years to fungating, invasive tumors. The malignant potential is attributed to unique immune evading abilities of the human papillomavirus. A 42-year-old male presented with pain and foul-smelling discharge from his genital warts. The histopathological examination of the mass showed invasive squamous cell carcinoma, and it was associated with paraneoplastic hypercalcemia. The timely removal of long-standing GCA in order to prevent a carcinomatous transition is a priority.
