Summary:ABSTRACT The case of a 70‐year‐old white man with a 10‐year history of penile lichen sclerosus (LS) who developed microinvasive squamous cell carcinoma on LS is described. A high incidence of penile cancer arising on genital LS has recently been observed. The authors stress the importance of an adequate diagnosis and long‐term follow‐up in patients with penile LS because of the malignant potential of the disease.
