Pseudoepitheliomatous keratotic and micaceous balanitis: comment

Pseudoepitheliomatous keratotic and micaceous balanitis treated with topical 5-fluorouracil and liquid nitrogen

“…Both conditions can present as phimosis or paraphimosis, and have a high risk for transformation to verrucous carcinoma and SCC. Indeed, some authors believe that PKMB is a feature of male genital LSc . The phimosis and hyperkeratotic plaques on the glans in our patient could represent hypertrophic LSc presenting as PKMB clinically, but the patient had no histological features of hypertrophic LSc.…”

Pseudoepitheliomatous, keratotic, and micaceous balanitis mimicking lichen sclerosus et atrophicus

Pseudoepitheliomatous keratotic and micaceous balanitis: A rare condition successfully treated with topical 5-fluorouracil

[ 9 ] The pathogenesis of PKMB occurs in four stages: (a) Initial plaque stage, (b) Late tumor stage, (c) verrucous carcinoma, and (d) Transformation to squamous cell carcinoma and invasion. [ 10 ]…”
