Introduction: Buschke-Löwenstein tumour (BLT) is a rare sexually transmitted infection of the skin caused by the Human Papilloma Virus with common involvement of the types 6 and 11. The preferential location being the genital area. It is very rare in children and mostly affects males over the age of 40. The diagnosis is mostly clinical. The goal standard for management is surgery. This is a case report of BLT in a Cameroonian child. Case History: A skin sample was received at the anatomy and pathology laboratory of the Centre Pasteur in Cameroon. It came from a 13 year old child with no prior history who initially presented with a large genitoscrotal tumour. In the light of these clinical facts that did not tie to a certain diagnosis, a histopathological analysis was carried out which revealed a Buschke-Löwenstein tumour. Discussion: This case history describes an original case of a clinically unsuspected BLT in a Cameroonian child aged 13-year-old, with no prior history. This case was diagnosed on histology and confirms the importance of histopathological analysis to this diagnosis which remains difficult for non-dermatologists. Conclusion: To our knowledge and according to the data at our disposal, this is the first time that BLT has been described in a child in Cameroon.
