Abstract

This case report shows the use of computed tomography (CT) imaging in evaluating a 53-year-old male patient presenting with anogenital wart like lesions. The patient was suspected of having condyloma acuminata. The significant extent of condyloma acuminata, as seen in this case, is a relatively uncommon finding. CT was ordered to help assess for local invasion and malignancy. This report also discusses Buschke-Lowenstein tumors, the rare malignant transformation of giant condyloma acuminata in the anogenital region. Invasion and malignancy in condyloma acuminata must be evaluated as they can have a poor and even fatal prognosis. Histological examination confirmed the diagnosis of condyloma acuminata and CT ruled out regional invasion, and metastatic disease. Additionally, the role of imaging in planning surgical excision is discussed. This case highlights the value of CT in the clinical diagnosis and management of condyloma acuminata.
