Abstract

Pseudoepitheliomatous, keratotic and micaceous balanitis (KPMB) is a rare condition affecting glans penis of elderly men. It is characterized by thick hyperkeratotic plaque with micaceous scaling often leading to phimosis. Here we are reporting a rare case of pseudoepitheliomatous, keratotic, and micaceous balanitis in 50-year-old man who has undergone circumcision 16 years back. Till date only a handful cases have been reported in world literature.

Keywords: Glans penis; Hyperkeratotic; Verrucous.
