  • Title: [Penis endoscopy: our experience apropos of 200 cases].
    Author: Barbier F, Boulanger JC.
    Journal: Rev Fr Gynecol Obstet; 1990 Dec; 85(12):655-8. PubMed ID: 2291046.
    Abstract:
    The use of the colposcope and acetic acid in the man has shown many genital lesions due to papillomavirus which had not been revealed until then by clinical examination. The authors study the prevalence of these lesions in 200 partners of women with an HPV genital infection. 71.5 per cent abnormal peniscopies were found; 73.5 per cent in the group of partners of women presenting a simple viral disease and 63.5 per cent when the women has an associated cervical dysplasia. 34 per cent of the patients had macroscopically typical or histologically proven viral lesions and 14 per cent had minor epithelial lesions evoking the presence of HPV. On the whole, considering the prevalence of the masculine lesions, the peniscopic screening seems necessary to stop the transmission chain.
