Introduction: Buschke-Löwenstein tumor (BLT), as a rare form of condylomata acuminatum, was firstly described by Buschke in 1886 as a "carcinoma-like condyloma acuminatum of the penis". BLT is generally considered to be a low-grade variant of squamous cell carcinoma of the anogenital region.

Case Outline: We describe a case of BLT in a 56-year-old male patient who was referred to our institute due to a large defect in the gluteal region.
