Líquen escleroso do pênis se desenvolve quase exclusivamente em homens não circuncidados e é o resultado do contato oclusivo crônico de epitélio suscetível à urina. Frequentemente, causa dispareunia e dificuldades com a micção. Manifesta-se tipicamente como fimose esclerótica do prepúcio, que pode não ser possível de retração, junto com inflamação e esclerose da superfície mucocutânea do prepúcio e da glande do pênis. Estenose e ocasionalmente obliteração do orifício meatal externo podem ocorrer em casos graves. Embora mais comumente reconhecida em homens adultos, é uma causa comum de fimose adquirida em meninos. | |||
