Lichen sclerosus et atrophicus (LSEA), also known as lichen sclerosus (LS), is a disabling, cosmetically disfiguring condition predominantly affecting the anogenital region of pre- and postmenopausal females. Extragenital LS is relatively less common and occurs predominantly on the trunk and neck. Koebnerization or isomorphic phenomenon is reported occasionally in LS after trauma like radiotherapy. A few case reports describe koebnerization of LS at injection sites. We describe the first such case in India of LS koebnerizing at insulin injection sites with dermoscopic features.
The incidence of penile squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) varies widely in different parts of the world. It is rare in Western countries but common in developing countries like India. The glans and foreskin are the most commonly affected sites. It can occur in two forms which have different evolution and prognosis. Exophytic papillary lesions have late and rare lymphatic spread and ulcero-infiltrating lesions are associated with rapid lymph node invasion and a poorer prognosis. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is an aggravating factor for penile cancer and accelerates the progression of the disease. Cutaneous metastasis from penile SCC is rarely reported. Here, we report a case of metastatic SCC of the penis in a 51-year-old HIV-infected man who presented with cutaneous metastases in the inguino-pubic region with a hidden penile SCC.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
