Жемчужные (перламутровые) папулы (Penile Papules)

dok_zlo — 19.10.2022

A 59-year-old man was referred to our hospital for the management of genital warts. Multiple, asymptomatic, smooth, round, skin-colored papules were observed at the corona of the glans penis. Physical examination of the genitalia was otherwise unremarkable. The patient reported that he had initially noted the lesions as a teenager and that they had not changed subsequently. A diagnosis of pearly penile papules was made. This condition is benign and common, occurring in up to 50% of the male population. The lesions are typically localized to the corona of the glans penis but can also affect the glans or the shaft of the penis or both. They are a common cause of concern in adolescents and are often misdiagnosed as condylomas. However, their histologic features are characteristic of angiofibroma, and the lesions are free of papillomavirus. Physicians should recognize these benign lesions and reassure the patient that they lack clinical importance.Nicolas Kluger, M.D. Olivier Dereure, M.D., Ph.D.Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Montpellier, , France
