Abstract

The diagnosis of genital dermatological conditions in males can be challenging and rely on physical examination and biopsy. This report describes an unusual case of Zoon's balanitis producing a discrete polyp on the glans penis, in addition to the classically described well-demarcated erythematous macule.

Keywords: Dermatoses; Inflammatory; Polyp; Zoon's balanitis.
