  • Title: [Verrucous carcinoma of the penis arising from a lichen planus. A true preneoplastic lesion?].
    Author: Alvarez Alvarez C, Meijide Rico F, Rodríguez González L, Antón Badiola I, Zungri Telo E, Antonio Ortiz-Rey J.
    Journal: Actas Urol Esp; 2006 Jan; 30(1):90-2. PubMed ID: 16703737.
    Abstract:
    INTRODUCTION: Up to 30% of squamous cell carcinomas of the penis arise from a lichen sclerosus, but very few reports in which lichen planus was the preexisting lesion have been published. We report a male with verrucous carcinoma of penis that developed in an area of lichen planus. CLINICAL CASE: A 53-year-old male presented with an exophytic tumor on the glans penis that had been present for about 6 months. The lesion developed in a previously biopsied area of lichen planus hypertrophicus. After excision, histological diagnosis was verrucous carcinoma. COMMENT: The development of any subtype of squamous cell carcinoma of penis in a lichen planus can be coincidental, or a neoplastic transformation of lichen planus can take place.
