ABSTRACT

Abstract: Zoon's plasma cell balanitis is a chronic genital inflammatory dermatosis that affects uncircumcised men, especially the elderly. It's characterized by painless erythematous plaques of orange hue, located on the glans penis and foreskin. Circumcision is the most effective treatment; however, it can be hard for patients to accept. As an alternative, topical calcineurin inhibitors are used, with good response. This article reports the case of a 32-year-old patient, HIV carrier, diagnosed with Zoon's plasma cell balanitis. Treatment with topical tacrolimus was administered, without improvement. A 6-week course of thalidomide resulted in complete remission of the lesions, without recurrence after eight months of follow-up.

ABSTRACT

A imunoterapia com o Bacilo Calmette-Guérin é amplamente usada no tratamento e profilaxia da neoplasia urotelial superficial. As complicações associadas ao tratamento são comuns. Os autores relatam um caso de inflamação granulomatosa do pênis, associada à terapia intravesical com Bacilo Calmette-Guérin, com múltiplos nódulos eritematosos indolores localizados na glande. É também efetuada uma revisão da literatura. A balanopostite granulomatosa é uma complicação rara associada à imunoterapia com Bacilo Calmette-Guérin, com uma apresentação clinicamente heterogênea que pode dificultar o diagnóstico. O seu reconhecimento clínico é essencial para o início precoce de tuberculostáticos e interrupção de Bacilo Calmette-Guérin.


Immunotherapy with Bacillus Calmette-Guérin is widely used for treatment and prophylaxis of superficial urothelial cancer. Complications associated with Bacillus Calmette-Guérin treatment are common. The authors describe a case of granulomatous inflammation of the penis associated with intravesical Bacillus Calmette-Guérin therapy, presenting with multiple erythematous and painless nodules located on the glans. A review of the literature is also performed. Granulomatous balanoposthitis is a rare complication of Bacillus Calmette-Guérin immunotherapy, with heterogeneous clinical presentation, which can make the diagnosis difficult. Its clinical recognition is essential for early start of therapy with antitubercular agents and interruption of Bacillus Calmette-Guérin.

ABSTRACT

Inicialmente, denominada "Balanoposthite chronique circonscrite benigne a plasmocytes", a balanite plasmocitária de Zoon é uma dermatose inflamatória crônica da glande e prepúcio afetando homens não circuncisados. As diferentes opções de tratamento para esta afecção apresentam frequentemente resultados parciais. Relatos têm demonstrado sucesso terapêutico, com o uso de tacrolimo tópico. Relatamos o uso de pimecrolimus, um homólogo de tacrolimo, com boa resposta. Dois doentes do sexo masculino, com diagnóstico de Balanite de Zoon confirmado através de biópsia, foram submetidos a um tratamento diário com pimecrolimus tópico a 1 por cento, com importante melhora da doença após 6 semanas para o paciente, 1 e 8 semanas para o 2. Conclusão: O pimecrolimus em creme pode ser uma opção para o tratamento da doença.


Initially called (in French) "Balanoposthite chronique circonscrite benigne a plasmocytes", Zoon's plasma cell balanitis is a chronic inflammatory dermatosis affecting the glans and foreskin of uncircumcised men. The different treatment options for this condition often present partial results. Reports have shown therapeutic success using topical tacrolimus. We report the use of pimecrolimus, a homologue of tacrolimus, with good response. Two male patients diagnosed with Zoon's plasma cell balanitis, confirmed by biopsy, were subjected to daily treatment with topical pimecrolimus1 percent. Significant improvement was noted in patient 1 after 6 weeks and after 8 weeks in patient 2. Conclusion: Pimecrolimus cream may be an option for the treatment of this disease.

ABSTRACT

Se informa de dos casos de balanitis circunscrita plasmocelular. Esta es una entidad poco común y de manejo difícil, que carcterísticamente afecta a varones no ciruncidados y que puede ser confundida con otras enfermedades de localización genital, particularmente con la eritroplasia de Queyrat. El diagnóstico se basa en el cuadro clínico y su correlación con la histopatología, en la que sobresalen los cambios vasculares y la presencia de numerosas células plasmáticas. Se intenta llamar la atención hacia esta enfermedad ya que parece ser poco conocida en nuestro medio .
