RESUMOIntrodução: o tumor de Buschke-Löwenstein é uma variedade pouco frequente da infecção pelo HPV. O tumor possui comportamento invasivo, embora seja histologicamente benigno. Pode estar associado a condições de imunossupressão e a recorrência após o tratamento é frequente. Objetivo: descrever um caso de um portador de aids e demonstrar que a imunossupressão é fator contribuinte, e que a cirurgia é o tratamento mais eficaz. Métodos: descrição do caso clínico, com referências na literatura. Resultados: foi realizada a cirurgia com ressecção ampliada e evolução satisfatória no pós-operatório. Conclusão: a cirurgia é o tratamento recomendado pela maioria dos autores e a biópsia é procedimento indicado para excluir malignidade.

Being histologically benign, the tumor has invasive behavior. It may be associated with conditions of immunosupression, and recurrence after treatment is frequent. Objective: to describe a case in a patient with AIDS, to show that immunosupression is a contributing factor, and that surgery is the most effective treatment. Methods: a case description, with references in the literature. Results: extended resection surgery with satisfactory outcome in the postoperative period. Conclusion: surgery is the treatment recommended by most authors and biopsy is an indicative procedure to exclude malignancy.
Described here is a case of postmalaria neurological syndrome in a patient who presented infection by Plasmodium falciparum two months earlier. The patient received empiric use of acyclovir for herpetic meningoencephalitis, but neuropsychiatric symptoms improved only after administration of methylprednisolone.
