  Fig. 1 (A) The prepuce was unretractable due to circumferential adhesion of the glans and prepuce on the coronal sulcus. (B) Whitish atrophic patches on the glans and prepuce were observed. (C) Infrabasal inflammation with cleft like space separating the basal layer from the pale upper dermis (H&E, ×40). (D) Hydropic degenerations of the basal cells (H&E, ×200). (E) Mild homogenous collagen bundles in the upper dermis (H&E, ×200). (F) Infrabasal inflammatory cells mostly consist of lymphocytes (H&E, ×400).
