Abstract
- The condition of pseudo-epitheliomatous keratotic and micaceous balanitis (PKMB) has been described as a rare, scaling, raised lesion of the glans penis, which on histological examination showed acanthosis, hyperkeratosis and pseudo-epitheliomatous hyperplasia. It was originally thought to be a benign condition. However, recent case reports suggest that PKMB has a high propensity for malignant change. Treatment by biopsy has shown that pseudo-epitheliomatous keratotic and micaceous balanitis should be determined by the severity of the disease. We report a case of PKMB in a 38-year-old man, who presented with a one year history of an eruption on the glans penis.
