Abstract:
Pearly penile papules are small, smooth, dome-shaped, grayish to skin-colored papules, that are arranged in one or several rows. These are commonly located circumferentially on the corona and sulcus of the glans penis. A 36-year-old male patient had had asymptomatic numerous pearly smooth 1 * 1mm -sized dome-shaped papules for several months. A Histopathological examination revealed an increased number of fibroblasts on the papillary dermis, vascular proliferation and a mild lymphocytic infiltration. We diagnosed the condition as pearly penile papules. No treatment other than reassurance was given. We report, herein, a case of pearly penile papules.
