Core Tip
Core tip: Large anal condylomas are generally caused by low risk human papilloma virus 6, 11, however in certain instances can be caused by high risk subtypes 16, 18, 31, 33. Malignant transformation to squamous cell carcinoma may occur in large neglected tumors and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) patients. Deep core biopsy, P16 staining and positron emission tomography computed tomography scans are necessary to diagnose carcinoma and metastases. Due to enormous size of the tumors a multidisciplinary team approach is necessary with combination of neoadjuvant chemo radiation followed by wide excision of these tumors. Large perineal and pelvic defects may need pelvic reconstructive surgery. Patients with HIV and anal cancers carry a poor prognosis.
