Pseudoepitheliomatous, keratotic, and micaceous balanitis.
A case of pseudoepitheliomatous, keratotic, and micaceous balanitis in a 69-year-old white man is presented. This report supports the notion that this condition is a localized form of verrucous carcinoma which tends to be resistant to treatment and to recur locally. Treatment with topical fluorouracil cream was partially effective but follow-up studies were not available because the patient died of lung cancer. This appears to be only the third reported case of this condition in the English literature.
