Lepromatous Leprosy of Prepuce- A Case Report
Journal Title: Journal of Krishna Institute of Medical Sciences University - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Leprosy is commonly seen over cooler parts of the body and very rarely found over external genitalia because of their warm temperature. We report a case of lepromatous leprosy of prepuce in a 79 years old male who presented with phimosis. Local examination revealed a nodule over prepuce and the clinical diagnosis was carcinoma of penis. This case highlights that leprosy should be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis of penile lesions.
