==Overview==
Erythroplasia of Queyrat is a [[Penile carcinoma in situ|penile squamous cell carcinoma in situ]] named after Louis Queyrat, a French [[dermatologist]] who was head of the [[dermatology]] service of l'Hôpital Ricord, a [[venereal]] hospital in Paris, now Hôpital Cochin.  The [[pathogenesis]] of Erythroplasia of Queyrat is characterized as a [[precancerous]] lesion of [[squamous cell carcinoma]] in situ of the [[glans penis]] and inner [[prepuce]] or foreskin. Erythroplasia of Queyrat is most commonly observed among white male patients aged 60 years old and older with Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) infection or chronic irritation and lack of hygiene of pubic area. The most common risk factor in the development of Erythroplasia of Queyrat is an uncircumcised penis. The mainstay of therapy for Erythroplasia of Queyrat is  imiquimod or 5-fluorouracil for several weeks to months.

==Classification==
==Classification==
Erythroplasia of Queyrat is classified as a precancerous lesion and the earliest stage of squamous cell cancer of the penis known as Carcinoma in Situ (CIS).  This is also known as stage 0 of penile cancer. In this stage, the cancer cells are found only in the top layers of skin; they have not yet grown into the deeper tissues.<ref name="HakenbergCompérat2015">{{cite journal|last1=Hakenberg|first1=Oliver W.|last2=Compérat|first2=Eva M.|last3=Minhas|first3=Suks|last4=Necchi|first4=Andrea|last5=Protzel|first5=Chris|last6=Watkin|first6=Nick|title=EAU Guidelines on Penile Cancer: 2014 Update|journal=European Urology|volume=67|issue=1|year=2015|pages=142–150|issn=03022838|doi=10.1016/j.eururo.2014.10.017}}</ref>

Analogous to Bowen's disease, infiltration, nodularity or ulceration often suggest the possibility of progression to an invasive squamous cell carcinoma.  Transformation of Erythroplasia of Queyrat into an invasive SCC is more common than in Bowen's Disease, with an incidence varying from 10% to 33%.  This difference could be related to the mucosal location of the disease. If the penile submucosa is invaded, the rate of involvement of regional lymph nodes is about 20%. Clinically, the presence of ulceration and/or papillary lesions usually corresponds to progression into an invasive carcinoma.

*Verrucous carcinoma: A verrucous carcinoma growing on the penis is also known as Buschke-Lowenstein tumor.  This is an uncommon form of squamous cell cancer that can start in the skin in many areas. This cancer looks a lot like a large genital wart. Verrucous carcinomas tend to grow slowly but can sometimes get very large. They can grow deep into nearby tissue, but they rarely spread to other parts of the body.


==Epidemiology and Demographics==
==Epidemiology and Demographics==
In countries where infant circumcision is common, such as Israel and the United States as well as other industrialized countries, the incidence of Penile Squamous Cell Carcinoma is less than 1 per 100,000 males, in which it constitutes a small proportion of the total cancers.<ref name="pmid18607597">{{cite journal| author=Bleeker MC, Heideman DA, Snijders PJ, Horenblas S, Dillner J, Meijer CJ| title=Penile cancer: epidemiology, pathogenesis and prevention. | journal=World J Urol | year= 2009 | volume= 27 | issue= 2 | pages= 141-50 | pmid=18607597 | doi=10.1007/s00345-008-0302-z | pmc= | url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=18607597  }} </ref> However, Squamous cell cancer accounts for more than 95% of cases of penile cancer.

The physician will ask about patient medical history and the details of their symptoms, such as when they started and if they've changed.  Possible risk factors of the patient will also be discussed.
 
The physician will then perform a physical examination of the genital area for possible signs of penile cancer or other health problems. Penile lesions (sores) usually affect the skin on the penis. This is followed by examination and palpation of the lymph nodes in patient's groin to see if they are swollen.
 
If symptoms and/or the exam suggest you might have penile cancer, other tests will be needed. These might include a biopsy and imaging tests.

Because penile cancer is not common, it's hard to find accurate survival rates based on the TNM stage of the cancer.
The numbers below come from the National Cancer Institute’s Surveillance Epidemiology & End Results (SEER) Program database, looking at more than 1,000 men diagnosed with penile cancer between 1988 and 2001.
*For cancers that are still confined to the penis (stage I and II cancers), the 5-year relative survival rate is around 85%.
*If the cancer has spread to nearby tissues or lymph nodes (stage III and some stage IV cancers), the 5-year relative survival rate is around 59%.
*If the cancer has spread to distant parts of the body, the 5-year relative survival rate is about 11%.
 
Treatment in the early stages of penile cancer is critical for good long-term results and predominantly preserves quality of life by preserving normal sexual function.

===History and Symptoms===
'''Genitourinary Changes'''
The hallmark of Erythroplasia of Queyrat is a red, velvety appearing rash beneath the penile foreskin.{{cite web |url=http://www.cancer.ca/en/cancer-information/cancer-type/penile/penile-cancer/precancerous-conditions/?region=bc |title=Precancerous conditions of the penis - Canadian Cancer Society |format= |work= |accessdate=}}  The lesions are usually solitary and occasionally erode or ulcerate, but pain is uncommon. A positive history of lack of circumcision and lesion growth are suggestive of Erythroplasia of Queyrat. The most common symptoms of this precancerous condition include skin changes in the penile skin including color and thickness changes, chronic irritation , and lesion growth. Common symptoms of Erythroplasia of Queyrat include persistent, foul smelling discharge under foreskin, smegma, dysuria, weak urine stream, loss of sensation in glans, and inability to fully pull back foreskin over glans.

===Physical Examination===
===Physical Examination===
Patients with Erythroplasia of Queyrat usually appear red, velvety appearing rash beneath the penile foreskin. Physical examination of patients with Erythroplasia of Queyrat is usually remarkable for penile skin changes including red, ulcerating, bleeding, and indurated lesion on the glans or red vegetating mass on the glans.
*The physician will then perform a physical examination of the genital area for possible signs of penile cancer or other health problems.
*Penile lesions (sores) usually affect the skin on the penis.
*This is followed by examination and palpation of the lymph nodes in patient's groin to see if they are swollen.
*If symptoms and/or the exam suggest you might have penile cancer, other tests will be needed. These might include a biopsy and imaging tests.

Overview

Erythroplasia of Queyrat is a penile squamous cell carcinoma in situ named after Louis Queyrat, a French dermatologist who was head of the dermatology service of l'Hôpital Ricord, a venereal hospital in Paris, now Hôpital Cochin. The pathogenesis of erythroplasia of Queyrat is characterized as a precancerous lesion of squamous cell carcinoma in situ of the glans penis and inner prepuce or foreskin. Erythroplasia of Queyrat is most commonly observed among white male patients aged 60 years old and older with Human papilloma virus (HPV) infection or chronic irritation and lack of hygiene of pubic area. The most common risk factor in the development of erythroplasia of Queyrat is an uncircumcised penis. The mainstay of therapy for erythroplasia of Queyrat is imiquimod or 5-fluorouracil for several weeks to months.

Historical Perspective

  • Erythroplasia of Queyrat was first discovered and named after Louis Queyrat.[1]
  • Louis Queyrat was French dermatologist who was head of the dermatology service of l'Hôpital Ricord, a venereal hospital in Paris, now Hôpital Cochin.
  • Tarnovsky originally described erythroplasia of Queyrat in 1891, but it was Queyrat who originated the term erythroplasia in 1911.

Classification

Stage Description
I Confined to glans of prepuce
II Invasion into shaft or corpora
III Operable inguinal lymph node metastasis
