Abstract

Giant condyloma acuminata (GCA) is a rare, locally aggressive manifestation of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, typically affecting the anorectal area. Patients with GCA often have a poor prognosis due to the high risk of malignant transformation. In this case report, we present a 39-year-old man with HIV who developed progressive and refractory anorectal GCA. Despite initially non-cancerous pathology results, there were concerns regarding a malignant component to the mass. Multidisciplinary discussions led to the decision to pursue definitive radiation therapy. This case report and review of the literature highlight the role of radiation in the management of GCA and the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in the treatment of complex cases.
