Presentation
CASE PRESENTATION Chief complaints The patient was a 55-year-old and was referred to our practice for anal cancer screening. History of present illness The patient had no known history of present illness. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Confluent acantholysis and dyskeratosis is a histologic pattern that may present as a solitary keratosis. [pesquisa.bvsalud.org]
They presented as oval or disc-shaped papules, with diameter ranging from two to 6 mm. Surface was absolutely flat and lighter in color than surrounding scrotal skin, light violet, varying from grayish to whitish tone (Figures 1A and 1B). [scielo.br]
Epidermolytic ichthyosis does not present as a solitary lesion but rather as a hereditary generalized desquamative eruption. [pathologyoutlines.com]
The authors present two cases of epidermolytic acanthoma of the scrotum in two men who are 52 and 68 years old, with 21 and 5 lesions, respectively, all asymptomatic. [scienceopen.com]
Treatment
The misdiagnosis of condyloma led to a prescribed treatment of cryotherapy. The lesion did not resolve after initial treatment and was biopsied after treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment of this condition is challenging and not well studied. [pesquisa.bvsalud.org]
Where lesions cause discomfort to the patient, treatment consists of emollients combined with destruction by cryotherapy or CO2 laser. Imiquimod, calcipotriol, tacrolimus and pimecrolimus have all resulted in regression of lesions. [pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Epidemiology
By means of this, we intend to fixate epidemiological aspects, such as frequency and distribution by age range, and also further knowledge on ultramicroscopic aspects. [scielo.br]
Pathophysiology
ICD-11: 2F21.Y - other specified benign keratinocytic acanthomas Sites Extragenital (67% of cases): head and neck, upper limbs, trunk or back, lower limbs (uncommon), oral (uncommon) Genital (33% of cases): vulvar, penile, perianal, perineal, scrotal Pathophysiology [pathologyoutlines.com]
Prevention
Careful histopathological examination is necessary to obtain an accurate diagnosis and prevent unnecessary treatments. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
