“…VC has histological similarities to plantar warts, and HPV may be a causative agent. [2] [17][18][19] Indeed, the deoxyribonucleic acid of HPV types 6, 11, 16, and 18 have been identified in VC specimens. [18] VC typically occurs in men in their 4th to 6 th decades, although it has been seen in patients as young as 16 years.…”

Most of patients having soft tissue lesion on heel/foot reffered to plastic surgeon because reconstructive options for heel/foot are difficult for general surgeons/orthopedicians. So as a plastic surgeon we should be aware of this rare but local tumor of foot, so that we can diagnose it early and manage properly.We present a case series of 4 patients of verrucous carcinoma of the foot. This is a rare, locally invasive, well differentiated, low-grade squamous cell carcinoma, with HPV as a possible causative agent. It follows a chronic course and mimics a variety of skin lesions, delaying diagnosis by up to 15 years. The definitive diagnosis is made histologically, and treatment by wide local excision is recommended. Our patients underwent wide local excision and reconstructed. Three patients had lesion on heel, were managed using reverse peroneal artery flap and fourth patient had lesion on forefoot, was managed using reverse medial planter artery flap. There were no postoperative complications. There was no functional impairment.

“…More than a century ago, in 1896, Abraham Buschke described two lesions of the penis as invasive condylomata (4). The incidence of the giant condyloma acuminatum in the literature is very rarely reported, probably 0.1% of the general population (5).…”

Giant condyloma acuminatum (GCA) commonly known as Buschke-Lowenstein tumor (BLT) is a rare sexually transmitted disease, which is always preceded by condyloma accuminata and linked to human papillomavirus (HPV). Most commonly affected sites are male and female genitalia, anal and perianal regions. Giant condyloma acuminatum is well-known as slow growing but locally destructive with a high rate of recurrence and increased frequency of malignant transformation. Surgical management is considered to be the best among all the options.

“…Verrucous carcinoma of the skin and mucosa is an uncommon low-grade squamous cell carcinoma and has been known by several different names if it is located in the ano-urogenital region: giant condyloma acuminatum (GCA), Buschke-Lowenstein tumor, giant malignant condyloma, verrucous carcinoma of the anogenital mucosa, carcinoma-like condyloma, and condylomatoid precarcinosis [1]. The pathogenesis of verrucous carcinoma is unknown.…”

A 58-year-old male patient presented with an anorectal verrucous carcinoma, also known as BuschkeLowenstein tumor. Clinically, the lesion of the patient best resembled giant condyloma acuminatum with a cauliflowerlike appearance. The diagnosis was confirmed with biopsy and an abdominoperineal resection was performed. The perineal defect was reconstructed with bilateral gluteal musculocutaneous V-Y advancement flap. Both functional and cosmetic results 6 years after the operation were excellent. To date, no recurrence has been noted. As long as one is aware of its existence and of its characteristic appearances, the Buschke-Lowenstein tumor is fairly easily diagnosed. The treatment of choice remains surgical resection, and adequate follow-up is essential.
