Pathological phimosis is the condition of having a non-retractile foreskin caused by the abnormal, unhealthy, or morbid existence of disease.
Pathological phimosis in boys
Rickwood et al. (1980) reported that pathological phimosis in boys is almost always caused by balanitis xerotica obliterans. Phimosis is defined as "scarring of the tip of the prepuce."[1]
Balanitis Xerotical Obliterans (BXO) and Lichen Sclerosus et Atrophicus (LS) are two names for the same disease.
Becker (2011) has provided a comprehensive review of LS in boys.[2]
Tissue afflicted with BXO (LS) typically has a whitish color.[2]
Pathological phimosis in adults
Adult-onset phimosis may also be caused by a yeast infection of the foreskin that makes it hard or impossible to retract the foreskin.[3]
BXO (LS) also occurs in adults. It is one of very few recognized medical indications for adult circumcision.[2]
