Objective: To describe the clinical and histopathological manifestations of a case of pseudoepitheliomatous, keratotic and micaceous balanitis and review the literature on this rare condition.
Methods: A case of pseudoepitheliomatous, keratotic and micaceous balanitis in a 63-year-old man is presented. The lesion appeared a few months after undergoing circumcision due to phimosis and recurrent inflammatory balanitis.
Results: The lesion relapsed after topical treatment with 5-FU, cryotherapy and shaving-biopsy plus electrocoagulation. It was finally diagnosed as epidermoid carcinoma and surgically excised.
Conclusions: The clinical and histopathological features, course and relationship between micaceous balanitis and carcinoma of the penis are reviewed.
