Giant condyloma accuminata or Buschke–Lowenstein tumor is a rare entity characterized by a large verrucous or cauliflower-shaped lesion primarily affecting the anogenital region. It forms part of a disease spectrum between classic condyloma accuminata and squamous cell carcinoma. Classically, it is thought to arise from previous human papilloma virus infection. Surgical management is usually the treatment of choice despite their high rate of soft tissue infiltration and recurrence. We herein describe a case of a 40-year-old male patient with cystic fibrosis diagnosed with giant condyloma accuminata without human papilloma virus or other paradigmatic risk factors that was treated with near-total surgical resection.

Coats plus syndrome (CPS) is an exceedingly rare genetic disorder associated with premature telomere shortening. The syndrome, also known as cerebroretinal microangiopathy with calcifications and cysts, has a multisystemic manifestation. It may present as brain abnormalities, seizures, osteopenia, prenatal and postnatal growth deficiency, and portal hypertension, among others. Up to 40% of affected individuals manifest recurrent gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding which can be life-threatening in some cases. Treatment for GI bleeding is not standardized and is therefore individualized based on the patient's clinical status, comorbidities, and resource availability. We herein present a case of a 20-year-old female with CPS and a two-year history of severe recurrent GI bleeding unable to be identified by conventional endoscopy. This report highlights successful laparoscopic assisted enteroscopy with enterectomy as a novel diagnostic and therapeutic modality in this population., Competing Interests: Human subjects: Consent was obtained or waived by all participants in this study.
