title: Asymptomatic penile lesions.
abstract: Lichen planus is a papulosquamous eruption of unknown cause that at times can involve only the glans penis and therefore be clinically confusing. We recently evaluated two middle-aged men with annular lichen planus on the glans penis who presented for evaluation of possible infectious/venereal disease.
