Occasionally, several adjacent glands will coalesce into a larger cauliflower-like cluster similar to sebaceous hyperplasia of the skin. In such an instance, it may be difficult to determine whether or not to diagnose the lesion as sebaceous hyperplasia or sebaceous adenoma. The distinction may be moot because both entities have the same ...
Giant condyloma acuminatum (also known as a Buschke–Löwenstein tumor [1]) is a rare cutaneous condition characterized by an aggressive, wart-like growth that is a verrucous carcinoma. [2]: 409 It is attributed to human papillomavirus. [3] Due to their size, these tumors can be locally invasive and destructive.
They can also occur on internal surfaces like the opening to the urethra, inside the vagina, on the cervix, or in the anus. [13] They can be as small as 1–5 mm in diameter, but can also grow or spread into large masses in the genital or anal area. In some cases they look like small stalks. They may be hard ("keratinized") or soft. Their color ...
Pseudoepitheliomatous keratotic and micaceous balanitis, (PKMB) is a cutaneous condition characterized by skin lesions on the glans penis that are wart-like with scaling. [1]: 657 It can present as a cutaneous horn. [2] PKMB is usually asymptomatic, with occasional irritation, burning sensation, fissuring, or maceration.
Red bumps on the penis that are associated with this condition are caused by HPV. The condition, says Dr. Williams, “is marked by red-brown lesions on the glans or shaft, usually in circumcised men.
The lesions frequently occur at the region of contact typically found on the shaft of the penis, the labia, or the perineum, and in the oral region due to oral intercourse. Rarely, the vaginal wall or cervix is the site of the lesion. At least one case in India led to partial autoamputation of the penis.
Condylomata lata (sg. condyloma latum, in English also condyloma lata) is a cutaneous condition characterized by wart-like lesions on the genitals. [1] They are generally symptoms of the secondary phase of syphilis, caused by the spirochete Treponema pallidum. [2]
A papilloma (plural papillomas or papillomata) (papillo-+ -oma) is a benign epithelial tumor [1] growing exophytically (outwardly projecting) in nipple-like and often finger-like fronds. In this context, papilla refers to the projection created by the tumor, not a tumor on an already existing papilla (such as the nipple).
