The penis is occasionally afflicted by disease that the pathologist see.

It is afflicted by common skin pathologies.

Diseases

Inflammatory

Infectious

Other non-tumour

Pre-cancerous

Neoplastic

Others:

Specific conditions

Phimosis

General

  • Cannot retract foreskin.
  • This is a clinical diagnosis.

Microscopic

Features:[1]

  • +/-Inflammation.
  • Fibrosis.

Notes: Findings non-specific.

DDx - general:

FORESKIN, CIRCUMCISION:
- SKIN WITH PATCHY MILD NONSPECIFIC INFLAMMATION.
- NEGATIVE FOR DYSPLASIA AND NEGATIVE FOR MALIGNANCY.
FORESKIN, EXCISION:
- KERATINIZED SQUAMOUS EPITHELIUM WITH PATCHY MILD NON-SPECIFIC
  SUBEPITHELIAL INFLAMMATION.
- NEGATIVE FOR MALIGNANCY.
FORESKIN, CIRCUMCISION:
- BENIGN KERATINIZED SQUAMOUS EPITHELIUM.
- FIBROUS SUBEPITHELIAL TISSUE WITH MINIMAL PATCHY NONSPECIFIC INFLAMMATION.
- NEGATIVE FOR DYSPLASIA AND NEGATIVE FOR MALIGNANCY.

Micro

The sections show skin with mild patchy chronic inflammation, consisting predominantly of lymphocytes, at the dermal-epidermal junction. The epidermis matures to the surface, has rete ridges and is of a normal thickness. Focally, parakeratosis is present. No significant nuclear atypia is identified.

Penile fibromatosis

  • AKA Peyronie's disease.

General

  • Prevalence ~5%.[2]

Treatment:

  • Conservative versus surgery.

Gross

  • Abnormal curvature of the penis, esp. in the erect state.

Microscopic

Features:[2]

  • Tunica albuginea fibrosis.

Zoon balanitis

  • AKA balanitis circumscripta plasmacellularis.[3]
  • AKA plasma cell balanitis.[4]

General

  • Balanitis = inflammation of glands penis.
  • Rare.
  • Uncircumsized men.

Microscopic

Features:[3]

PENILE FORESKIN, CIRCUMCISION:
- COMPATIBLE WITH PLASMA CELL BALANITIS (ZOON BALANITIS), SEE COMMENT.

COMMENT:
A treponemal infection should be considered clinically.

Squamous cell carcinoma of the penis

General

  • Not very common overall.[5]
  • Most common form of penis cancer.
    • Non-squamous penis cancer only ~5% of cases.[6]

Epidemiology:[5]

  • Median age ~ 67 years old.
  • Usually a good outcome - 5 year cause specific survival ~ 81%.[5]

Microscopic

Features:

Notes:

  • Usually grade 2.[5]

TIP OF PENIS, PARTIAL PENECTOMY:
- INVASIVE SQUAMOUS CELL CARCINOMA, MODERATELY DIFFERENTIATED.
-- SURGICAL MARGINS NEGATIVE FOR DYSPLASIA AND NEGATIVE FOR MALIGNANCY.
-- PLEASE SEE TUMOUR SUMMARY.
