Description

Chronic graft-versus-host disease may occasionally involve the skin of the penis and scrotum. It probably is under-reported and under-diagnosed.


Clinical features:

(1) history of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT)

(2) presence of graft-versus-host disease elsewhere

(3) skin lesions of the penis and/or scrotum

(4) exclusion of other diagnoses

 

Penile and scrotal skin lesions may include:

(1) subtle erosions

(2) lichen planus-like lesions (plaques or papulosquamous lesions with white scale, Wickham striae, and violaceous papules)
