“…Lichen sclerosus of the glans and prepuce is also known as balanitis xerotica obliterans (BXO). Stühmer [2] first described BXO in 9 adult patients in 1928. At that time, he postulated that the cause of BXO was exposure of the glans to air after circumcision [3].…”

Objective: Evaluation of the true incidence of balanitis xerotica obliterans (BXO) among boys younger than 10 years. Methods: In a period of 13 months, 75 boys younger than 10 years were treated for phimosis. Suspicion of BXO was raised in phimosis grade 2 or 3 (classification by Kikiros). Patients were offered primarily either circumcision or conservative therapy and circumcision secondarily (if treatment failed in the conservative group). Each circumcision specimen was examined histopathologically. Results: Circumcision was primarily performed in 29 and secondarily in 17 patients. The mean age was 3.7 years (range 1-10). BXO, chronic inflammation, and normal histological results were found in 8/26/12 (17.4/56.5/26.1%) cases, respectively. The mean follow-up was 8.1 months. No recurrences were reported. Conclusions: The incidence of BXO appears to be higher than previously reported. The clinical appearance in children may be confusing. The preoperative BXO suspicion did not correlate with the final histopathological results.

“…Stuhmer first described the condition in 1928 naming it balanitis xerotica obliterans (BXO): 'balanitis' for the chronic inflammatory process affecting the glans penis; 'xerotica' for the abnormally dry appearance of the lesions; and 'obliterans' for the endarteritis obliterans commonly associated 3 • The majority of reported cases occurred several months after circumcision leading him to conclude that this surgical procedure in young adults was an aetiological factor in the development of this benign condition. atrophicus on the body in association with genital lesions, and another showed typical isolated papules of lichen sclerosus et atrophicus on the shaft of the penis with lesion ofaXO on the glans and prepuce", They concluded that lichen sclerosus et atrophicus and BXO were identical and that the former could occur on the genitals as isolated papules on the shaft or as sclerotic preputial patches with urethral involvement.…”
