Definition
Penile neoplasias include Penile intraepithelial neoplasia (PeIN) as premalignant lesions and malignant neoplasms (squamous cell carcinoma, melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma – Paget disease of the penis, sarcoma….).
Epidemiology
The incidence of penile neoplasias is related to the prevalence of HPV in the population. Penile cancer is rare in Europe, present in less than one man in 100,000, and accounts for less than 1% of cancers in men in the USA. Penile cancer is, however, much more common in some parts of Asia, Africa, and South America (American Cancer Society 2016).
Penile Intraepithelial Neoplasia (PeIN)
Definition and introduction : Penile intraepithelial neoplasia (PeIN) is a premalignant lesion that can affect any part of the penile surface. PeIN shows different degrees of dysplasia and is therefore classified into PeIN 1, 2, and 3. All grades of epithelial dysplasia or PeIN are histological prestages of carcinomain situ that may gradually lead to...
