Description

A 62-year-old man with false phimosis recognized that there were several spotted eruptions on his glans penis in spring, 2005. Over about a half-year period, the sizes of those eruptions gradually enlarged. The lesion was pathologically diagnosed as erythroplasia of Queyrat (EQ) by skin biopsy taken in another hospital; subsequently, he was reffered to our hospital on December 6. We performed wide local excision and the defect area was reconstructed with a skin graft. EQ is generally recognized as the same entity as Bowen's disease which just appears on mucous membrane. But this concept still remains questionable whether EQ is true Bowen's disease or not. The relations to continuous local irritation or human papilloma virus, as a possible cause of EQ, have been reported. Although conservative therapies such as topical application of anti-cancer ointment or cryosurgery have also been reported, curative surgical excision is recommended for EQ.
