[Keratotic pseudoepitheliomatous and micaceous balanitis].
OBJECTIVE
To describe the clinical and histopathological manifestations of a case of pseudoepitheliomatous, keratotic and micaceous balanitis and review the literature on this rare condition.


METHODS
A case of pseudoepitheliomatous, keratotic and micaceous balanitis in a 63-year-old man is presented. The lesion appeared a few months after undergoing circumcision due to phimosis and recurrent inflammatory balanitis.


RESULTS
The lesion relapsed after topical treatment with 5-FU, cryotherapy and shaving-biopsy plus electrocoagulation. It was finally diagnosed as epidermoid carcinoma and surgically excised.


CONCLUSIONS
The clinical and histopathological features, course and relationship between micaceous balanitis and carcinoma of the penis are reviewed.
