Answer is B
Complications of phenytoin therapy include coarsening of the facial features, enlargement of the lips, gingival hyperplasia, hypertrichosis and Peyronie's Disease <=== Plz See the Correction Below.
Peyronie's disease, a condition of uncertain cause, is characterized by a plaque, or hard lump, that forms on the penis. The plaque develops on the upper or lower side of the penis in layers containing erectile tissue. It begins as a localized inflammation and can develop into a hardened scar.

How can it be the most common manifestation encountered with Phenytoin therapy? I think Gingival hyperplasia or blood dyscrasias are more common heard of.
I have never came across one in real practice....Well next time I will examnie a patient who comes for his chronic medicine for epilepsy... I hope he doesn't mind...lol

I did some checking up on the Peyronie's disease n it turns out that its not caused by Phnytoin Per Se.
THe Explanation Misleads us to the Point that Phenytoin causes Peyronie's disease though Phenytoin does cause Skin Eruptions alongwith its Gingival Hyperplasia(MCC) it also causes Circular, violaceous, edematous plaques that resolve with macular hyperpigmentation is characteristic. Lesions occur 30 minutes to 8 hours after drug administration. Perioral and periorbital lesions may occur, but the hands, feet, and genitalia are the most common locations.
