Summary: Zoon balanitis and lichen sclerosus are both chronic inflammatory disorders of the genital mucosa that usually affect middle-aged or elderly uncircumcised men.Although the precise etiology of Zoon balanitis is still unclear, a pathogenic role of irritant and mechanical factors has been suggested. Therefore, foreskin sclerosis and phimosis caused by male genital lichen sclerosus may trigger the development of Zoon balanitis. However, until the present, only three cases with clinical and histopathologic features consistent with synchronous presentation of both disorders have been described. We report the case of a 70-year-old male who developed Zoon balanitis in association with lichen sclerosus, that cleared only after circumcision.

Assim, a esclerose do prepúcio e a fimose induzida pelo líquen escleroso genital podem potenciar o seu desenvolvimento da balanite de Zoon. Contudo, até ao presente, foram descritos apenas três casos com características clínicas e histológicas compatíveis com apresentação síncronas de ambas as doenças. Apresentamos o caso de um doente de 70 anos, não circuncisado, que desenvolveu balanite de Zoon em associação a líquen escleroso e que resolveram apenas após circuncisão.Sociedade Portuguesa de Dermatologia e Venereologia2021-12-27T00:00:00Zjournal articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.29021/spdv.79.4.1387oai:ojs.revista.spdv.com.pt:article/1387Journal of the Portuguese Society of Dermatology and Venereology; Vol 79 No 4 (2021): October - December; 357-359Revista da Sociedade Portuguesa de Dermatologia e Venereologia; v. 79 n. 4 (2021): Outubro - Dezembro; 357-3592182-24092182-2395reponame:Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP)instname:FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiainstacron:RCAAPenghttps://revista.spdv.com.pt/index.php/spdv/article/view/1387https://doi.org/10.29021/spdv.79.4.1387https://revista.spdv.com.pt/index.php/spdv/article/view/1387/938Copyright (c) 2021 Journal of the Portuguese Society of Dermatology and Venereologyinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessGarrido, Pedro MiguelAguado-Lobo, MartaSoares de Almeida, LuísBorges da Costa, João2022-10-06T12:35:19Zoai:ojs.revista.spdv.com.pt:article/1387Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireinfo@rcaap.ptopendoar:https://opendoar.ac.uk/repository/71602025-05-28T10:31:33.616930Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP) - FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiafalse
