title: [Precancerous lesions of the penis].
abstract: Premalignant penile lesions have been associated to squamous cancer, although the true incidence of progression of these entities to squamous cell carcinoma is unknown. These lesions may coexist with or may antecede the occurrence of carcinoma. For this reason close follow-up of the patient is necessary to detect early evidence of malignant degeneration.
