Abstract:
ObjectiveAnalyze the incidence of balanitis xerotica obliterans (BXO) among pediatric circumcision patients.MethodsThe clinical data from patients who were treated with circumcision, including pathological phimosis, phimosis, redundant prepuce and concealed penis, were collected from February 2017 to June 2017 in our hospital. The data include patients age, clinical diagnoses and pathological results of foreskin samples.ResultsIn our study, the peak incidence age of BXO occurred between the ages of 4 to 8. A total of 221 foreskin samples were received and BXO was found in 35 cases. Among these patients, 21 patients (60%) were from those who were diagnosed with pathological phimosis. Of the children who had scarred foreskin, BXO was reported in 21 patients (61.8%), much higher than the incidence in phimosis (11.1%), concealed penis (6%) and redundant prepuce (5.9%).ConclusionThe incidence of BXO in pathological phimosis was much higher than other conditions. The foreskin samples from these patients should be examined histologically for further diagnosis and correlating treatment.
