Indian J Sex Transm Dis AIDS. 2017 Jul-Dec;38(2):176-179. doi: 10.4103/ijstd.IJSTD_95_16.

Abstract

Seborrheic keratosis (SK) of the external genitalia is a rare entity which can be easily misinterpreted as genital warts. Histopathology is a useful tool to make a diagnosis in such cases. We report a 62-year-old male who presented with multiple polypoidal lesions exclusively on the external genitalia. Histopathology was suggestive of hyperkeratotic type of SK which showed some unusual features.

Keywords: Genital seborrheic keratosis; hyperkeratotic seborrheic keratosis; polypoidal genital mass.
