Zoon's balanitis

B B Jolly et al. Urol Int. 1993.

Abstract

Superficial lesions of the glans penis can cause diagnostic difficulties. Zoon's balanitis can be distinguished by characteristic histological changes affecting the epidermis and the dermal vasculature. A 44-year-old male presented after having blood-staining of his underclothes for 5 months. Upon examination, the glans showed a red, moist plaque. Circumcision was performed, and the biopsy showed plasma cell balanitis. Following circumcision, the lesion healed completely.
