abstract immediate perineal reconstruction after vast rectal abdominoperineal resection background: Buschke-Lowenstein tumor is a benign skin lesion secondary to human papilloma virus infection. It usually appears as an exophytic anogenital mass and may progress to a squamous cell carcino-ma. It can be treated with chemo, radio or immunotherapy and occasionally it requires radical surgery. case report: We report a 53 years old male with a perianal lesion lasting 15 years that was treated with chemo-radiotherapy that relapsed with malignant transformation. Since the pathological study showed a squamous cell carcinoma, a rectal abdominoperineal resection was planned. The defect that left the surgical procedure was covered with musculocutaneous flaps from gracilis muscle of the thigh.
