Abstract:
Circinate balanitis, although a common cutaneous manifestation of reactive arthritis (ReA), is usually an associated finding present along with the triad of arthritis, conjunctivitis, and urethritis. It is rarely seen as the only or the preceding manifestation of ReA. Here, we report three cases of circinate balanitis as stand-alone and initial presentation of probable ReA without any other symptoms of arthritis and conjunctivitis at the time of presentation.
