Androgen Receptor-Positive Penile Acrochordon: A Case Report
Serkan Akan, Umut Arslan, Esin Yiğitbaşi Kiliç
TL;DR
This paper reports a rare case of a penile acrochordon that is androgen receptor-positive and showed rapid growth during puberty.
Contribution
The first reported case of an androgen receptor-positive penile acrochordon without known underlying causes.
Findings
The penile acrochordon was androgen receptor-positive and showed rapid growth during puberty.
No underlying conditions like acromegaly, diabetes, obesity, or trauma were found.
This case expands the understanding of penile acrochordon pathology and androgen receptor involvement.
Abstract
Acrochordons are polypoid, skin-colored lesions usually present at the site of skin folds. They are extremely rare in the preputial area of the penis and do not tend to grow. To the best of our knowledge, in English literature, this report presents the first case of an androgen receptor-positive penile acrochordon, which is located on the penis and showed rapid growth along with body development during puberty with no underlying causes such as acromegaly, diabetes, obesity, and trauma.
