A 40-year-old black male had unresectable giant condylomata acuminata of the anorectum with invasive, squamous-cell carcinoma. He was treated with intravenous 5-fluorouracil and mitomycin-C and with extended field radiation to the primary lesion. An abdominoperineal resection was performed, and the surgical specimen contained no residual cancer. Three years after diagnosis, the patient has no recurrent cancer. This case illustrates that otherwise unresectable giant condylomata acuminata with invasive carcinoma may be rendered operable with chemotherapy and radiation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
