Posthectomy Approach of Erythroplasia of Queyrat: A Case-Report

Abstract

Erythroplasia of Queyrat stands for a precancerous lesion, a carcinoma in situ evolving through an epidermoid carcinoma in the absence of an appropriate management. We report a case of 66-year-old uncircumcised Caucasian patient who was suffering from a lesion of erythroplasia of Queyrat located at the penis and treated by posthectomy after failure of a cream-based chemotherapy. The diagnosis of Erythroplasia of Queyrat is histological. In our patient, the race and the absence of circumcision allowed us to conjure up the diagnosis. Surgical treatment seems to be the refferential approach in the management of this intra-epithelial neoplasia.
