Abstract

Erythroplasia of Queyrat (EQ) is an uncommon preinvasive penile lesion with a high predilection to progress to invasive carcinoma. They typically occur in uncircumcised men with no established etiological factors. We present a 45-year-old mechanic with an erythematous plaque over the glans penis for 6 months, diagnosed as EQ. Physicians tend to treat genital lesions on a clinical diagnosis owing to its likely inflammatory nature; however, the risk of it being a preinvasive lesion must be borne in mind. A low threshold must be held to perform a histopathological examination to avoid missing a potentially malignant lesion.

Keywords

Erythroplasia, penis.
