43. BALANITIS - Heres A Tough One In Real Time This Patient Initial impression was of bacterial balanitis of unclear origin. The second, because of the association of balanitis circinata with HLA B27. http://dermatology.cdlib.org/rxderm-archives/balanitis

BALANITIS - Heres a tough one in real time: This patient was admitted this afternoon. 30 yo Oriental-American male, uncircumcised, with onset of penile complaints following episode of unprotected oral sex in January '96. Pt denies trauma or known history of prior STD's in self or partner. Pt is o/w healthy except for seasonal allergies for which he intermittently uses Claritin. Pt initially noted "small tender bump" at urethral meatus with mild peri-meatal redness. Pt seen at that time by primary MD who did HSV titer (which was negative) and empirically treated with Famvir (no response). Pt next seen by Infectious Disease service. U/A, urine culture, chlamydia titer all negative; empiric trial of Doxycycline unsuccessful. Pt referred to Urology (urine tests again negative) with no diagnosis made; pt then referred to joint Derm/Urology Genital Disease Clinic and was first personally seen about one month ago. At that time, pt had obvious erythema around the meatus and the entire area was tender. There was also a small cluster of 2-3 mm papules with a orange-ish or golden tint at 4-5 o'clock at the meatal edge; these were not umbilicated or vesicular and were not any more tender than the general area. The foreskin was completely easily retractable and no other lesions were seen; there were no palpable inguinal nodes and no urethral discharge. The proximal urethra was nontender. Initial impression was of bacterial balanitis of unclear origin. Pt was treated with Dicloxacillin x 10 days (along with Zeasorb AF) and seen back at 2 weeks. Pt reported increased tenderness but no other change in PE (confirmed by exam). Pt then given trial of topical aqueous gentian violet with plan to biospy if no response. After 1 week on gentian violet, pt called for urgent appointment because "getting worse". PE now reveals ulceration and erosion with purulence at former site of papules, mild erythema and marked tenderness of entire glans, and violaceous/dusky hue to proximal glans (NOT gentian violet stains). Pt also now has pea-sized tender left inguinal node. Pt has been admitted with plan to "cool off" with IV antibiotics (Cipro per ID rec's) and then go ahead with biopsy, urethroscopy and possibly circumcision. Pt has now been seen by eight physicians, two of whom have extensive experience with male genital lesions and one of whom has been a urologist for over 40 years, and none of them have ever seen anything like this. Any help regarding diagnosis and/or treatment would be greatly appreciated. Daniel Mark Siegel MD - Recommend Biopsy...also culture for Chancroid (need to warn lab in advance)....other possibilites are lymphoma (consider marker studies as well as molecular biology studies), LyP and leukemia cutis....probabley also worth doing AFB cultures....is this KS (what is the pts HIV status). Of course, an RPR should be thrown in. Rick Sharpe MD Certainly, you have already thought of this: Condylomata Buschke-Loewenstein (verrucous carcinoma of genital area) and HLA-testing. The first, because of the incipient papulous texture, the ulcerative and purulent (superinfected?) erosion and the pea-sized lymph node. The second, because of the association of balanitis circinata with HLA B-27. A biopsy will surely shed light on it. Andreas Orou MD - The biopsy will be done. Remember, this went from minimal erythema to frankly exudative very rapidly and balanitis circinata is a good thought. Clinically, it is not verrucous carcinoma. I have seen many of those and none looked like this. Daniel Mark Siegel MD - ? deep fungus - atyp mycobacteria - ? CMV (I think this has been reported after oral sex) - ?DLE; doubt GA / Sarcoid / MF Biopsy is your best bet. KC Smith MD FRCPC - My first choice - since you've ruled out almost everything imaginable - would be a fixed drug eruption. It certainly doesn't sound like erosive LP or BP. Robert I. Rudolph, M.D., FACP - I would second the suggestion to requestion the patient about possible fixed drug eruption. I had a patient with a similar history, but with the lesion on the scrotum; it turned out to be due to oil of Wintergreen used in the Snuff he'd been using to stop smoking. It resolved when he stopped the Skoal brand product , and returned with re-challenge. John Uhlemann MD ...?fixed drug sine drug? I know I'm making up a new one, but can recollect a past case or two that have made me wonder if this entity exists. Theoretically, why does the offending chemical *have* to be a "drug?" Mike Eichwald MD A good thought but I could elicit no other "drugs"; specifically tobacco with or without flavoring, cinammon toothpastes, laxatives, new items in the diet. He is getting better, the acute process is settling down and as the erosion is immediateley adjacent to the meatus, we have all agreed (derm-ID -urology) to biopsy after what appears to be a secondary infection settles down. Daniel Mark Siegel MD Alsays have to consider factitial injury (by self or consort) in cases like this. I always photograph cases like this - makes it a lot easier to tell how they are doing, and to make a case for factitial if necessary as time goes on. KC Smith MD FRCPC - Re the recalcitrant balanitis, two ideas. Did anyone look for yeast (especially since his partner might have had oral thrush)......unless the gentian violet would have ruled that out (I'm from the azole generation). The case reminds me of one that presented to me when I was a resident doing a stint at our student health services. A man presented with recalcitrant balanitis, and was seen on multiple occasions, each time treated with a different drug. His frequency of visits began to make me quite uncomfortable, so, I "turfed" him to the other derm resident, a male. The other resident saw him for about to minutes, and stepped out of the office with the diagnosis and treatment. He recommended the patient restrict his masturbating for at least two weeks! The patient stated he masturbated atleast three times a day, and would be unable to stop. That was the last we saw of him. Diane Thaler MD - I would second the suggestion to requestion the patient about possible fixed drug eruption. I had a patient with a similar history, but with the lesion on the scrotum; it turned out to be due to oil of Wintergreen used in the Snuff he'd been using to stop smoking. It resolved when he stopped the Skoal brand product , and returned with re-challenge. John Uhlemann - - CASE DISCUSSION - I did not biopsy a horrendous circinate balanitis today. the patient has a history of erosive seronegative arthritis. He has also developed a 2 cm irregular greyish minimal erosion right palate, and an oval minimal 2.5 cm greyish white plaque left palate-not healing 5 days post hot coffee burn and subsequent blister. I did inject him with sterile saline to check for pathergy, and considered Reiters, Behcets, fusospirochetes, yeast etc. Diane Thaler This case does not sound like it, but I consider fixed drug eruptions in similar cases of penile erosions. Biopsy would be good. Jerry Eisner Forgot to tell you that was part of the differential. You are correct-he took TMP Sulfa for several days before he noticed the rash. He is not sure about the timing. I took him off the TMP Sulfa and dont die....I put him on empiric Doxy for fusospirochetes, Reiters, arthritis, and anything else I might think of before Monday when I will have to biopsy him. Diane Thaler Check HIV Status and Swab for HSV. Rhette Drugge - You are correct. I should have. Even though it wasn't a painless or otherwise classical syphilitc lesion. I hope I catch it on the biopsy if it's there. How will the Doxy have messed up the VDRL and FTA (I used to know these things, and I still could look it up....) ? Diane Thaler The erosive circinate balanitis I biopsied was lichen planus and it cleared on the empiric doxycycline prescribed 4 days prior to the biopsy. The roof of the mouth cleared in 4 days. I have no explanation, just follow up. Diane Thaler -

44. Balanitis balanitis. A Disease of the Uncircumcised Male. balanitis (or Balanoposthitis). This is inflammation of the glans penis (the tip of the penis) and male http://www.circlist.com/anatterms/balanitis.html

Balanitis A Disease of the Uncircumcised Male Balanitis (or Balanoposthitis) . This is inflammation of the glans penis (the tip of the penis) and male foreskin. It rarely, but can occur, in the female clitoris. It has been shown that uncircumcised males have a higher incidence of penile inflammatory disorders and that 5-10% of all uncircumcised boys eventually undergo circumcision because of the complications of balanitis. Careful hygiene and cleansing of uncircumcised boys may reduce this infection and its complications, which is often thought to be caused by the accumulation of smegma . Routine circumcision completely eliminates these problems. Alternative name: balanoposthitis Causes, incidence, and risk factors: Balanitis is usually caused by poor hygiene in uncircumcised men. However, exposure to caustic soaps or failure to properly rinse the soap while bathing may result in inflammation. Prevention: The foreskin should be retracted daily to adequately clean and dry the area under the foreskin. Alternatively, circumcision completely eliminates this problem. Symptoms: *redness of foreskin or penis *foul-smelling discharge *painful penis and foreskin Treatment: In cases of inflammation that is causing problems with urination, an immediate circumcision may be recommended. Several topical ointments are also available and may provide temporary relief of this problem. However, reoccurring balantis should be treated with a complete circumcision

Balanitis is a term used to include all inflammation of the skin covering the head (glans) of the penis. What causes balanitis? The most common causes are: irritants: neglected hygiene and tight foreskin (particularly in young boys) lead to irritation by smegma (a cheesy substance secreted under the foreskin). seborrhoeic dermatitis: an inflammatory rash of uncertain cause that is commonly seen on the scalp, behind the ears and in the skin folds. thrush (candida): although this infection is probably over-diagnosed by doctor and patient. contact allergy: latex and additives used in rubber manufacture (eg condoms) and constituents of skincare products (used by the patient or partner). balanitis xerotica obliterans (BXO, also termed lichen sclerosis): this condition primarily affects the foreskin, leading to loss of skin colouration, scarring and tightness of the foreskin, and phimosis (inability to pull the foreskin back behind the glans), which may require circumcision. Involvement of the opening of the urethra (urine tube) can lead to irritation and burning. Surgery might be needed to prevent a stricture (narrowing) in the urethra. Steroid creams may help the irritation but patients require long-term follow-up to prevent recurrence.

Balanitis Balanitis (inflammation of the glans penis) is most commonly caused by an infection with candida (thrush). Other causes include bacterial infections, skin irritation, certain skin conditions, and sexually transmitted infections. It usually clears with treatment. What is a balanitis and what are the symptoms? Balanitis is an inflammation of the head of the penis (the glans). Often the foreskin is also inflamed at the same time as the glans. (The foreskin is the loose skin that covers the glans if you have not been circumcised.) Balanitis is common, and it can occur at any age. It is not usually serious. Symptoms include redness, irritation, and soreness of the head of the penis. It can range from a small patch of redness confined to part of the skin surface of the glans, to the whole glans becoming red, swollen and painful. Sometimes there is a thick clumpy discharge which comes from under the foreskin. You may have some pain when you pass urine. What can cause balanitis? Infection Various germs which live on the skin in small numbers may multiply and cause infection. The most common infection is with a yeast called candida. (Candida is the same germ that causes vaginal thrush in women.) Some types of bacteria are also a common cause of balanitis. Any man or boy can develop an infection. But, an infection of the glans is more likely to develop if you: Already have some inflammation of the penis due to an allergy or irritant (see below).

Balanitis What is Balanitis? Balanitis/ Balanoposthitis (Infection of the glans and/or foreskin) You have just been diagnosed with balanitis by your physician...let's review together what you discussed in the office. Balanitis simply means a swelling or inflammation of the end of the penis (glans or head). Inflammation most often presents as a redness and/or a blotchy rash of the glans, sometimes with a discharge (this is quite rare). The condition may be accompanied by an itchy or uncomfortable sensation but often feels completely normal Posthitis is a similar inflammation of the prepuce (foreskin) and is treated the same way. The two may occur simultaneously - balanoposthitis. What are the symptoms of Balanitis? The inflammation may present as distinct red spots or dots, red plaques or may affect the entire head of the penis/prepuce. At times the irritation can be so great as to include small breaks in the surface of the skin (fissures). These open wounds are often very sensitive to touch, particularly when soaps or detergents come into contact with affected skin. Itchiness is quite common. Pain is fortunately infrequent. What causes Balanitis?
