	Relationship of Balanitis Xerotica Obliterans to Lichen Sclerosus et Atrophicus
		It was impossible to obtain a specimen for biopsy from the glans, although the histologic structure of a lesion from the clavicular region was that of lichen sclerosus et atrophicus.
		Four of the patients had plaques of lichen sclerosus et atrophicus on the body in association with the genital lesions, and another showed typical isolated papules of lichen sclerosus et atrophicus on the shaft of the penis with lesions of balanitis xerotica obliterans on the glans and prepuce.
		Lichen sclerosus et atrophicus may occur on the genitals as (1) isolated papules on the shaft or (2) sclerotic preputial and urethral involvement, with patches on the glans.
