Summary: This publication describes the second known reported case of benign giant condyloma acuminatum of the vulva and anal canal (Buschke‐Loewenstein tumour). The diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma was made initially on clinical examination and could not be excluded by punch biopsy. A full pathological study of the tumour established the diagnosis. A defunctioning colostomy and a perineo‐ano‐vulvectomy with groin gland dissection was performed and the patient is free of disease 36 months later. The biology of this type of tumour is discussed.
