Eritroplasia de Queyrat.: Revision Bibliografica.

Abstract

Queyrat's erythroplasia is a dermo-urological pathology commonly found in patients who are uncircumcised or with chronic inflammation in the glans or foreskin of the penis. This pathology must be differentiated from Bowen's disease or Bowenoid lesion by its location. Queyrat's erythroplasia, unlike Bowen's disease or Bowenoid lesion, occurs in more distal areas of the penis. The characteristic lesion of Queyrat's erythroplasia is a reddish, velvety, scaly or rarely ulcerative plaque. This disease is more common in older men, and its progression to malignancy is estimated at about 10 to 33%. Adequate management is performed using topical products, surgery or microsurgery with the objective of preserving as much as possible the functional and aesthetic aspects of the penis.
