ABSTRACT
Balanitis Xerotica Obliterans is a chronic, progressive, sclerosing inflammation of unclear etiology. It involves the external genitalia of males and more specifically the prepuce and its frenulum, the glans, and the external urethral meatus while it may extend to the peripheral part of the urethra. Recent studies have noted an increasing incidence in the paediatric population. It is the most common cause of secondary (pathologic) phimosis. Even more, in boys with physiologic phimosis that does not respond to conservative treatment, Balanitis Xerotica Obliterans should be considered as the underlying condition. In this study, we present all the latest data and attempt to create a diagnostic and curative algorithm regarding this condition.
