Balanitis circumscripta plasmacellularis presents as chronic red-orange plaques on the glans penis. Diagnosis is confirmed by microscopy, and circumcision is an effective treatment for this benign condition.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Urology

Background:

  • Balanitis circumscripta plasmacellularis (BCP) is a chronic inflammatory condition affecting the glans penis and prepuce.
  • It typically manifests as shiny, smooth, red-orange plaques.

Observation:

  • A case report of an uncircumcised male with two refractory BCP lesions on the glans and penile shaft is presented.
  • Lesions were resistant to topical treatments and systemic antibiotics.

Findings:

  • Microscopic examination readily confirms the diagnosis of BCP.
  • Differential diagnosis, postulated etiologies, and treatment options are discussed in the literature review.

Implications:

  • Accurate differentiation from similar lesions is crucial for appropriate management.
