Phimosis, defined as scarring of the tip of the prepuce, was studied prospectively in a series of 23 boys aged 4 to 11 years. There was little to support the contention that the condition is caused by trauma, or by ammoniacal or bacterial inflammation of the prepuce, nor could any other aetiological factor be identified. Histological examination of the foreskin showed the appearances of Balanitis Xerotica Obliterans in 20 of 21 specimens submitted for study.

Article Synopsis
- Testicular tumors mainly affect younger men, while penile cancer is more frequently seen in older men, and early detection can improve survival chances.
- Comprehensive literature review finds no general screening programs for these cancers; instead, self-examination for testicular tumors and education on risk factors for penile cancer are highlighted.
- Raising awareness and educating at-risk individuals is vital, with physicians playing a crucial role in promoting early detection strategies.

Purpose: The use of topical corticosteroids (TCSs) has become an efficient, less-invasive treatment for phimosis. Whether any significant difference in efficacy exists between TCSs based on their potency is unclear.
Methods: Electronic databases were searched up to March 2024 for randomised controlled trials (RCTs) comparing the use of any type or concentration of TCSs with placebo or no treatment in boys with any degree of physician diagnosed phimosis.

Undescended testis is the most common genital disorder identified at birth. Boys who do not have spontaneous descent of the testis at 6 months of age, adjusted for gestational age, should be referred to pediatric urology for timely orchiopexy. Retractile testes are at risk for secondary ascent of the testes and should be monitored by physical examination annually.

Article Synopsis
- Lichen sclerosus (LS) is a rare condition affecting about 1 in 200 boys, where mismanagement can lead to severe progression, requiring careful handling of urethral tissues.
- A study reviewed patients aged 6-10 with severe LS, analyzing treatments like topical steroids and surgeries, ultimately creating a management algorithm based on their cases.
- The findings emphasize the importance of early diagnosis and treatment, as improper management can worsen the condition, leading to difficult-to-treat complications.
