- Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Giant condyloma acuminatum (also known as a Buschke–Löwenstein tumor) is a rare cutaneous condition characterized by an aggressive, wart-like growth that is a verrucous carcinoma.:409 It is attributed to human papillomavirus.Most patients with verrucous carcinoma have a good prognosis. Local recurrence is not uncommon, but metastasis to distant parts of the body is rare. Patients with oral verrucous carcinoma may be at greater risk of a second oral squamous cell carcinoma, for which the prognosis is worse. It’s a diffuse, papillary, non metastasizing, well differentiated, malignant neoplasm of epidermis or oral epithelium. It is also known as an Ackerman tumor.
