Furthermore, on histological examination BXO presents a very characteristic picture. Hyperkeratosis is present and the epidermis is atrophic with thinning of the rete pegs. Vacuolar degeneration of the basal layer may be present.[cirp.org]
The white thin fragile areas, sometimes surrounding the foreskin in a figure of eight pattern, have a crinkly surface; their fragility may lead to easybruising and erosions. Later on, the foreskin opening can shrink, leading to pain on intercourse.[londoncircumcisioncentre.co.uk]

The management of benign penilelesions usually involves observation or topical corticosteroids; however, neoplastic lesions generally require surgery.[aafp.org]
However, only 50% of these patients will have cancer in the lymph nodes as these lymph nodes are often "reactive" to inflammation or super-infection in the penilelesion.[bradyurology.blogspot.com]
Invasive tumours require staging of the primary penilelesion and inguinal and pelvic lymph nodes. Local staging can be performed using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).[patient.info]

Imaging Metastatic workup should include CXR, bone scan, and CT scan of the abdomen and pelvis. Disseminated disease is present in less than 10% of patients at presentation.[health.am]
Treatment Options Potent topical corticosteroids are the mainstay of treatment. In general, the risk of atrophy from uncontrolled disease outweighs the risk of pulse therapy with potent topical corticosteroids.[dermatologyadvisor.com]
Further treatment, or treatment of circumcised patients, is more challenging. Intraurethral steroids provide efficacious therapy for stricture disease in patients with biopsy proven BXO before invasive surgery. 4.[londoncircumcisioncentre.co.uk]

There appears to be an increased risk for family members to develop LS, suggesting a genetic component to the etiology. General Prevention Neonatal circumcision appears to be protective.[unboundmedicine.com]
Operations on the genitals, such as circumcision and dorsal incision, are not etiologic factors in our opinion. In contradistinction to Stühmer's 2 belief that the disease occurs only in young adults, we feel that it may occur at any age.[jamanetwork.com]
Etiology: may be idiopathic or may be associated with an underlying carcinoma. Treatment: variable response to laser, circumcision, steroids, antifungals, and retinoids (in other words, the verdict is still out on an appropriate therapy).[auanet.org]
Abstract Background: Balanitis Xerotic obliterans (BXO) or Penile Lichen Sclerosus is a dermatological condition affecting the genitalia and associated with chronic, progressive, sclerosing inflammatory dermatosis of unclear etiology.[ajol.info]
