Hypertrophicpseudo tumoral herpetic lesion is an uncommon presentation in immunocompromized hosts that can be refractory to established therapies. We describe bipolar anal and tonsilar herpetic tumoral lesions related to acyclovir-resistant HSV-2 in a human immunodeficiency virus-infected patient. Treatment with valacyclovir, cidofovir, and thalidomide failed and surgical excision was required.
