Abstract
The Buschke-Löwenstein tumor is a rare clinical entity. Its severity is related to the local invasion and the risk of recurrence and malignant transformation. It is caused by a viral infection due to the human papillomavirus. The transmission is primarily sexual and often affects the penile region. The perineal location is relatively rare. We report two rare cases of neglected Buschke-Löwenstein tumor due to the late diagnosis treated with large surgical resection. This study aimed to emphasize the contribution of clinical examination in the early diagnosis and the management of our patients.
