Differential diagnosis of genital lesions must include venereal and nonvenereal dermatosis. Atypical manifestations of common dermatosis exclusively over scrotum pose diagnostic challenge and histopathology plays a crucial role in such cases.
“…[ 3 ] The underlying mechanism of this malignant conversion is not exactly known, but speculatively, chronic inflammatory processes show an overdrive of growth factors that constantly stimulate epithelial cell proliferation into neoplastic conditions. [ 4 5 ] An average time of 12 years may lapse between the diagnosis of hypertrophic LP and the onset of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), prompting regular follow up of HLP cases for long period is essential. There should be no reservation for biopsy.…”

Perigenital warty lesions can be of diverse origin. An attempt should be made to rule out sexually transmitted disease (STD). If the diagnosis is not settled, biopsy may clinch the diagnosis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
