Abstract
Giant condyloma acuminatum (GCA) is a benign anogenital lesion caused by human papilloma
virus. It is rarely found on the cervix and is difficult to differentiate from malignancy.
It is associated with a propensity for invasion, recurrence, and malignant transformation.
A 35-year-old woman presented with abnormal uterine bleeding and a suspicious cervical
mass. After a Pap test revealed high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion, cervical
biopsies revealed cervical dysplasia. A diagnostic loop electrical excision procedure
identified a giant condyloma. A total hysterectomy was performed, confirming the diagnosis.
This condition should be in the differential diagnosis for a cervical mass suspicious
for malignancy. Prompt biopsy of mass is crucial.
