The penis is occasionally afflicted by disease that the pathologist sees
It is afflicted by common skin pathologies.
Normal
- Corpus spongiosum - fills with blood during erection.[1]
- Corpus cavernosum - around the urethra.

- Balanitis xerotica obliterans.
- Balanitis circinata.
- Lipogranulomas.
Infectious
- HPV infection.

- +/-Inflammation.
- Fibrosis.
Notes: Findings non-specific.
DDx - general:
- Squamous cell carcinoma - nuclear atypia + invasion.
- Penile intraepithelial neoplasia - nuclear atypia.
- Lichen sclerosus - supeficial dermal fibrosis with thinned epidermis.
- Lichen planus - interface dermatitis with apoptotic bodies.
- Infection.
- Syphilis - plasma cells.
- Candidiasis.
- Zoon balanitis - plasma cells.

FORESKIN, CIRCUMCISION: - SKIN WITH PATCHY MILD NONSPECIFIC INFLAMMATION. - NEGATIVE FOR DYSPLASIA AND NEGATIVE FOR MALIGNANCY.
FORESKIN, EXCISION: - KERATINIZED SQUAMOUS EPITHELIUM WITH PATCHY MILD NON-SPECIFIC SUBEPITHELIAL INFLAMMATION. - NEGATIVE FOR MALIGNANCY.
FORESKIN, CIRCUMCISION: - BENIGN KERATINIZED SQUAMOUS EPITHELIUM. - MILDLY FIBROUS SUBEPITHELIAL TISSUE WITH MINIMAL PATCHY NONSPECIFIC INFLAMMATION. - NEGATIVE FOR DYSPLASIA AND NEGATIVE FOR MALIGNANCY.
Micro
The sections show skin with mild patchy chronic inflammation, consisting predominantly of lymphocytes, at the dermal-epidermal junction. The epidermis matures to the surface, has rete ridges and is of a normal thickness. Focally, parakeratosis is present. No significant nuclear atypia is identified.
Thinned epidermis
The sections show skin with mild patchy chronic inflammation, consisting predominantly of lymphocytes, at the dermal-epidermal junction. Eosinophils are not readily apparent.
The epidermis matures to the surface; however, it is thinned and focally flattened appearing. No hyperkeratosis or parakeratosis is apparent. The superficial dermis is minimally hyalinized focally. No significant nuclear atypia is identified.
Alternate
The sections show skin with mild patchy chronic inflammation, consisting predominantly of lymphocytes, at the dermal-epidermal junction. Eosinophils are not readily apparent. The epidermis matures to the surface; however, it is focally thinned and focally flattened. No significant hyperkeratosis or parakeratosis is apparent. The superficial dermis shows no apparent fibrosis. No significant nuclear atypia is identified.
Penile fibromatosis
- AKA Peyronie's disease.
General
- Prevalence ~5%.[3]
Treatment:
- Conservative versus surgery.
Gross
- Abnormal curvature of the penis, esp. in the erect state.
Microscopic
Features:[3]
- Tunica albuginea fibrosis.
Zoon balanitis
General
- Balanitis = inflammation of glands penis.
- Rare.
- Uncircumsized men.[6]
- Analogous to plasma cell vulvitis in women.
Treatment:[6]
- Circumcision.
- Corticosteroids.
Microscopic
Features:[4]
- Abundant plasma cells - key feature.
- Dermal atrophy.
- Spongiosis and intraepithelial lymphocytes.
- Tortuosity dermal blood vessels.
DDx:
- Syphilis - plasma cell-rich infiltrate.
- Balanitis xerotica obliterans.
Images
Note the flattened 'lozenge' keratinocytes separated by spongiosis (SKB).
The epidermis is very atrophic in this example but shows 'lozenge' keratinocytes and spongiosis (SKB).
This example might at first glance appear to be a lichenoid balanitis but the thin layer of epidermis is actually intact (SKB).
