Balanitis plasmacellularis (also known as "Balanoposthitis chronica circumscripta plasmacellularis," "Balanitis circumscripta plasmacellularis,"[1] "Plasma cell balanitis," "Plasma cell vulvitis," "Vulvitis circumscripta plasmacellularis," "Zoon's balanitis," "Zoon's erythroplasia," and "Zoon's vulvitis") is a cutaneous condition characterized by a benign inflammatory skin lesion characterized histologically by a plasma cell infiltrate.[2]:657[3]
A similar condition has been described in women (i.e. "Zoon's vulvitis"),[4] although its existence is controversial due to the possibility of diagnostic error in many of the cases that have been reported in the medical literature.[3]
It is named for J.J. Zoon, who characterized it in 1952.[5]
