Abstract:
Epidermolytic acanthoma is a rare benign tumor, which may occur in both isolated and disseminated forms. Clinically, this asymptomatic lesion resembles a verruca or molluscum. Histopathologically, it is characterized by epidermolytic hyperkeratosis, also referred to as granular degeneration. We, herein, report a case of isolated epidermolytic acanthoma on the scrotum in a 36-year-old man for its rarity in Korean dermatologic literature.
