Squamous Cell Carcinoma Penis in a Case of Urethral Stricture Due to Lichen Sclerosus Balanitis Xerotica Obliterans: A Case Report and Review of Literature
Abstract
Penile carcinoma is considered a delayed sequel of lichen sclerosus. It is important to recognize this not so uncommon complication in time as survival of patients with Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC) depends on early diagnosis and treatment. We describe a case of a 49-year-old male presenting with urethral stricture due to lichen sclerosus. He was treated for stricture disease and later on developed SCC penis after ten years of presentation.
