Premalignant penile lesions are a difficult group of disorders to accurately differentiate from benign dermatoses. There is often a history of self-management or management in non-specialist centres leading to a delay in diagnosis. Early recognition and treatment of these lesions may prevent progression to invasive cancer thereby reducing the need for more traumatic interventions. It is important to note that penile cancer is a relatively rare malignancy affecting approximately 1 in 100,000 men per year in Europe and the USA, with premalignant lesions forming a small proportion of new cases. Therefore, the knowledge base relating to the management of premalignant lesions is often from small series or case reports. |
