“…It has been suggested that routine histology is required to ensure that cases of malignancy are detected. However, penile SCC is an uncommon malignancy, accounting for <1% of male cancers [5,6]. Routine histology in circumcision should not be regarded as a method of detecting cases of carcinoma in situ as this may occur on the shaft, glans or prepuce [7,8].…”

The records of 114 patients (51 adult, 63 paediatric) circumcised in a year were retrospectively reviewed. Indications for circumcision were phimosis, recurrent balanoposthitis and suspected squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Data were collected on the following areas: patient age, indication, pre-operative and histological diagnosis. Pre-operative diagnosis was compared with histological diagnosis to determine whether histology differed from the clinical impression. Results: A total of 31 patients had histologically confirmed lichen sclerosus (22 adult, 9 paediatric). Of these patients, 26 (84%) were predicted pre-operatively. There were three adult patients diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma and all of these cases were predicted pre-operatively. There were no cases of SCC or lichen sclerosus diagnosed in patients clinically thought to have normal foreskin. Conclusions:The data indicate that routine histology is not necessary in adult and paediatric circumcision and should be reserved for patients with suspected lichen sclerosus or carcinoma.

“…The rate of progression to SCC is between 10 and 33 % (Graham and Helwig 1973 ). Rarely, cases of metastatic disease to the lymph nodes in the absence of an invasive component have been reported (Kim et al 2007 ).…”
