# Verruciform xanthoma of the glans penis in a male with undiagnosed genital lichen sclerosus

## TL;DR

## Contribution

The paper highlights a potential association between verruciform xanthoma and genital lichen sclerosus.

## Key findings

## Abstract

We report the second case of verruciform xanthoma of the penis occurring in a male with genital lichen sclerosus. We suggest that the diagnosis of VEGAS xanthoma should prompt careful examination of the genitalia for evidence of underlying lichen sclerosus, the signs of which may be subtle.
