Case study: The surgical management of angiokeratoma resulting from radiotherapy for penile cancer

Abstract

Angiokeratoma is a rare, benign skin lesion and a recognised complication of radiation therapy. Here we describe a case of extensive angiokeratoma of the groin and external genitalia resulting from external beam radiation to that area in a patient with penile carcinoma. Furthermore, we outline the management of this problem by surgical reconstruction. ©2009 with author. Published by TheScientificWorld.
