Epidermolytic acanthoma of the scrotum: A rare mimicker of condyloma acuminatum

Dermatol Online J. 2011 Jan 15;17(1):6.

Abstract

Epidermolytic acanthoma is a rare benign tumor that is characterized by epidermolytic hyperkeratosis on histopathology. Epidermolytic acanthoma usually presents in adulthood as an asymptomatic tumor less than 1 cm in diameter with a verrucous surface. Whereas the lesions can present in either an isolated solitary, localized, or disseminated form, there tends to be a predilection for the genitoscrotal area.
