RESULTS
Physical exam found nine patients with clinical suspicion confirmed BXO in PE. Of these, two
patients had urethral stenosis. However, five patients without clinical suspicion of BXO were diag-
nosed with BXO in PE. Sensitivity of clinical exam to diagnose BXO was only 64%.
PE of Foreskin findings were: chronic nonspecific inflammation - 46 patients; subepithelial conges-
tion and edema - 38 patients; balanitis xerotica obliterans - 14 patients; lentigo simplex - two patients
CONCLUSIONS
The data presented show that clinical examination is not sufficient for the diagnosis of BXO, and the
diagnosis should be based on the PE. The study demonstrates that the incidence of BXO in patients
with phimosis is significant, suggesting PE of all foreskins for the diagnostic of BXO.
