Abstract:
LSA of the glans and prepuce of the penis is uncommon. It usually appears as whitish plaques and macules and can progress to orificial narrowing, phimosis and carcinorna. The case presented herein showed distinct papules and nodules on the glans and inner side of the prepuce instead of usual flattened patches. The patient, 24 years old man, was seen first seven months after his initial notice of the illness and has been observed by the authors four years thereafter. For the first year the papuloncdules on the glans were hard in consistence and the glans itself was being contracting, From the third year, the hard papulonodules began to resolve but resulted in greatly contracted glans penis. To observe the diagncsic histopathological finding repeated biopsies were needed.
