Male genital vitiligo

Vitiligo is a polygenetic multifactorial disease leading to melanocytic loss in skin and sometimes in hair. Genital areas may be involved and represent a specific therapeutic challenge. Surprisingly, data on male genital vitiligo remain scarce. This review aims to collate current knowledge on male genital vitiligo and to discuss the risks and benefits of the various therapeutic approaches. Male genital vitiligo is relatively frequent and often induces marked impairment of quality of life, with a specific impact on sex life. Prompt recognition of activity remains mandatory to halt disease progression, as repigmentation remains difficult to achieve in most cases. Thanks to progress in understanding of the pathophysiology of vitiligo, new therapeutic approaches are under development. Topical ruxolitinib, a JAK pathway inhibitor, is currently the product in the most advanced stage of development, with a very encouraging repigmentation rate on the face, although specific efficacy in genital area remains to be assessed. The next generation of treatments, such as topical WNT agonists, could be of great interest in genital vitiligo as they will not require combination with UV therapy and they may be able to enhance the differentiation and proliferation of melanocyte stem cells in this difficult-to-treat area.     

成人阴茎的三维数字化图像分析

目的对成人阴茎进行三维数字化图像分析,为阴茎整形修复获得手术前后形变参数及手术方案的选择,提供精确的形态学数据。方法采用Angel数字快速测量诊断系统,分别测量200例正常成人阴茎安静状态和勃起时的长度、周长、以及勃起时角度与阴茎长度、周径的关系。结果随着年龄和身高增长,阴茎也随之增长;身高与阴茎长度不成正比;阴茎勃起时随着角度的增加硬度增强,但勃起硬度变化时阴茎体积无明显变化。结论从不同径线不同角度对阴茎进行计算机三维测量分析,为阴茎整形修复术前设计、术后效果评价提供重要的量化指标。     

阴囊皮瓣转移修复阴茎皮肤缺损

目的探讨一种操作简便而有效地修复阴茎皮肤缺损的手术方法.方法自1995年1月以来,应用阴囊皮瓣转移修复阴茎皮肤感染坏死所致皮肤缺损8例.其中6例为阴茎全周皮肤缺损,2例为2/3周皮肤缺损.手术切除创面肉芽组织,显露正常的阴茎海绵体或尿道海绵体筋膜,使阴茎充分伸展,设计、解剖、形成阴囊皮瓣,旋转转移至阴茎皮肤缺损区,边缘缝合固定.对阴囊皮肤缺损较大者,同期应用股内侧局部皮瓣转移修复阴囊皮肤缺损.结果本组8例手术全部成功,术后3～12个月随访,阴茎外形良好,生理功能恢复正常.结论阴囊皮瓣转移是一种较好的修复阴茎皮肤缺损的手术方法,具有操作简便、手术Ⅰ期完成、术后阴茎外形和生理功能恢复均佳的优点,值得推广应用.

No colocalization of immunoreactivities for VIP and neuronal NOS, and a differential relation to cGMP-immunoreactivity in bovine penile smooth muscle

The distribution of immunoreactivity (IR) for the neuropeptide vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) and neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) in the bovine retractor penis muscle (RP) and penile artery (PA) was studied by using two different methods. The distribution of these immunoreactivities was also compared with that of the immunoreactivity for cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP). In both tissues the nerve fibers and terminals immunoreactive for VIP had a distribution that was completely different from that of the nerve fibers and terminals immunoreactive for nNOS. This contrasts with the previous observations in penile smooth muscle of other species. In the RP, as well as in the PA, many of the VIP-IR fibers were also immunoreactive for neurofilaments (NF), whereas the nNOS-IR fibers were consistently devoid of NF-IR. Stimulation with sodium nitroprusside, a nitric oxide donor, considerably increased cGMP-IR in the smooth muscle cells in both RP and PA, and in several nerve fibers in PA. Many of these cGMP-IR nerve fibers exhibited nNOS-IR, whereas none of them was immunoreactive for VIP. Our results suggest that the degree of coexistence of VIP-IR and nNOS-IR in the nerve fibers and terminals innervating penile smooth muscle show wide species differences. They also suggest that the mechanisms by which VIP could be involved in neurogenic penile erection may vary between species.     

Constricting band penile injury with urethral transection

Constricting band penile injuries in children may be caused by inadvertent entrapment by a variety of agents including hair, thread, and circumcision dressings. Alternatively, the offending band may have been self-applied or applied by an attendant. Unrelieved, the band causes serious vascular occlusion, progressive tissue necrosis, and injury to the urethra and erectile tissue. We report a case of CBPI in a 12-year-old circumcised boy. The glans was attached to the penile shaft by a tenuous segment of tissue dorsally with complete transection of the urethra. A three-stage reconstruction using a delayed groin flap was successful.

Extraskeletal osteosarcoma of penis: A case report

Extraskeletal osteosarcoma (EOS) is rare and commonly arises in the retroperitoneum, limbs, head and neck. There is no significant difference between EOS and other malignant tumors in soft tissue. Localized pain and swelling are the common presenting symptoms. Clinical diagnosis of EOS is difficult, imaging techniques may be helpful and careful, and the histopathological analysis is necessary. The common histological variants of EOS include: osteoblastoma, chondroblastoma, and fibroblastoma, and other unusual subtypes were reported occasionally. It should be distinguished with myositis ossificans, malignant mesenchymoma, giant cell tumor and parosteal osteosarcoma. We present an EOS arising in the penis. The primary site and histological category of the tumor were extremely rare. We hope the case will be helpful to the recognition of clinical signs, iconography and histopathology of EOS.
