“…The incidence of scrotal angiokeratomas remains to be determined. Local destructive methods, including lasers (Table 2 ) [ 13 , 14 , 22 – 31 ], have traditionally been used to treat angiokeratoma of the scrotum [ 1 – 4 , 6 , 12 – 14 , 21 – 31 ].…”

Scrotal rejuvenation encompasses not only the functional quality but also the aesthetic appearance of the scrotum. It includes medical therapy and procedural interventions to improve scrotal conditions that require morphologic restoration and/or aesthetic alteration. Rejuvenation of the scrotum may be appropriate for aging-related and non-aging-related changes concerning the hair (alopecia and hypertrichosis), the morphology (laxity and wrinkles), and/or the vascularity (angiokeratoma) of the scrotum. Angiokeratomas—typically small, asymptomatic, purple papules—may occur on the scrotum. However, these benign vascular lesions may be of cosmetic concern to the affected individuals; in addition, the angiokeratomas can become an issue of medical importance if they begin to bleed. Multiple locally destructive modalities are available for the treatment of scrotal angiokeratomas; indeed, several lasers have effectively been used to treat angiokeratomas of the scrotum. A 70-year-old man with numerous scrotal angiokeratomas experienced scrotal bleeding in the absence of prior trauma to the area or sexual activity. He presented for treatment to prevent future episodes of spontaneous bleeding from his scrotal angiokeratomas, but he also had not liked the aesthetic appearance of the previously asymptomatic angiokeratomas on his scrotum. His angiokeratomas were successfully treated with three sequential 532-nm potassium titanyl phosphate (KTP) laser sessions, which led to not only functional but also cosmetic improvement of his scrotum. In conclusion, men can develop scrotal changes due to either intrinsic (aging) or extrinsic (trauma) causes, but nonsurgical interventions and surgical procedures are available for the management of these conditions in individuals who desire to rejuvenate their scrotum.

The term 'angiokeratoma' includes a wide range of dermatological conditions of hyperkeratotic vascular disorders with a similar histologic combination of hyperkeratosis and superficial dermal vascular ectasia. Angiokeratomas can be classified into localized and systemic forms. Angiokeratoma of Fordyce (AKF) is a localized form of angiokeratoma, clinically characterized by 1- to 6-mm, black, blue, or dark red, dome-shaped papules located on the scrotum, shaft of penis, labia majora, clitoris, inner thigh, and lower abdomen. We describe herein a case of giant angiokeratoma of Fordyce on shaft of the penis in an elderly man, clinically masquerading as keratoacanthoma.

“…The papules of angiokeratoma of Fordyce are benign and asymptomatic, although they may bleed if traumatized, during intercourse, or from scratching. They do not usually require treatment, but if treatment is needed, locally destructive methods, including laser [23,24,25,26,27] , electrocoagulation, excision, sclerosis [28] or cryotherapy, may be used.…”

Review Article AJODRR (2020) 3:34 DIFERENTIAL DIAGNOSES OF ANGIOKERATOMAS Angiokeratomas (AK) are probably the vascular lesions that induce more confusion in the literature. The most accepted classification of AK was performed by Imperial and Helwig [1] , and they divide these lesions into five classical types: Mibelli's AK, Fordyce's AK, corporis diffusum AK, circumscribed naeviforme AK and solitary or multiple adquired angiokeratomas. Nevertheless, in the clinical practice, is not unusual to see AK type lesions associated to different types of vascular anomalies, and these lesions have difficult handling. In ISSVA classification AKs have been included as vascular anomalies provisionally unclassified. We perform the differential diagnoses of AKs and according to clinical picture, histopathological aspect, immunohistochemical markers and radiological findings proposed to divide AKs mainly in two groups. Primary AKs are the classical types. The new inmunohistochemical findings suggest that these lesions might be included as mixed capillary-lymphatic malformations. Secondary AKs are related with different vascular anomalies, secondary to other process with lymphatic obstruction, related to drugs, or associated with no vascular lesions as lymphoid lesions. Different underlying vascular anomelies might be related with AKs including deep capillary-lymphatic malformations (CLM), venous-lymphatic malformations (VLM), capillary-lymphatic-venous malformations (CLVM) (Klippel-Trenaunauy Sd), deep lymphatic malformations (LM), venous malformations (VM) as hyperkeratotic venous malformation, cavenomatous cerebral malformations, traumatic arteriovenous fistula and eccrine angiokeratomatous hamartoma. Clinical aspect, radiological studies and histopathological examination might help to do a correct diagnosis of this heterogenous entity.
