Psoriasis Penis - A Two Case Report

Psoriasis vulgaris is a chronic, multisystem, genetic, noncontagious inflammatory disorder. Psoriasis limited to the glans penis is a rare presentation. We present two patients with penile involvement and absence of psoriatic lesions elsewhere on the body, which led to delay of diagnosis. Due to the specific localization, the treatment of choice was the calcineurin inhibitor pimecrolimus 1% crème with satisfactory results. The dermatology practitioner should be aware of the limited penile psoriasis as this condition is only occasionally reported in the literature and might be much more frequent in the daily practice.
