[Epidermoid XXXX : our experience].

@entity1 @entity21912 @entity5 @entity38605 @entity5372
OBJECTIVES: We reviewed our series of epidermoid @entity5 to determine the predictive index of lymph node invasion and the incidence of @entity5372 in these @entity1 . METHODS: We reviewed the records of 11 @entity1 with epidermoid @entity5 . Six @entity1 had been evaluated according to a protocol that included preoperative biopsy of the lesion, penile and abdominal ultrasound evaluation, CT and diagnostic lymphadenectomy for those cases suspected as having lymph node invasion. The predictive index (PI) was determined in relation to the grading of cell differentiation (G) and @entity5 stage (S) [PI = G+T] and the incidence of @entity5372 was sought during the interview. RESULTS: Lymph node invasion was confirmed in 2 @entity1 with PI = 6 and in 1 @entity1 with PI = 5. Diagnostic lymphadenectomy showed no evidence of lymphatic spread in 1 @entity1 with PI = 3 and in another @entity1 with PI = 4. The remaining 6 @entity1 with @entity21912 did not undergo lymphadenectomy. Phimosis was associated in 73% of the cases. CONCLUSIONS: PI is a reliable index for lymph node invasion. @entity1 with @entity38605 do not require therapeutic lymphadenectomy. Phimosis should be operated early in childhood.
