We report the case of a patient with a large Buschke–Lowenstein tumour which had previously recurred following local excision. A preferred treatment modality for this rare variant of human papillomavirus has not been clearly defined. Treatment with chemo-radiotherapy in this case resulted in complete resolution of the disease without the need for further surgical intervention.

Key Words: Buschke–Lowenstein tumour • chemo-radiotherapy • human papillomavirus
