“…9% of the examined patients had sebaceous hyperplasia or ectopic sebaceous glands, which was consistent with the reference literature. [7]. Considerable hyperplasia may be mistaken for genital warts or molluscum contagiosum and unnecessary treatment may be undertaken.…”

IntroductionSo far there have been no papers analyzing the incidence of ‘non-pathological’ lesions or normal variants on the male external genitalia. Subsequently, the number of patients consulted due to the presence of such lesions remains unknown. The aim of the study was to estimate the incidence of normal variants in patients who were consulted due to lesions on the skin or mucosa of the male external genitalia.Material and methodsThe study group consisted of 400 males, aged 3-91, who were consulted due to lesions on the genitalia in the Department of Dermatology, Venereology and Allergology of the Medical University of Gdańsk.ResultsThe most common lesions were hyperpigmentation of the median raphe of the penis and scrotum (85.6%), pearly penile papules (24%), and prominent veins (24%). Sebaceous hyperplasia or ectopic sebaceous glands were revealed in 9% of patients, respectively. Melanocytic nevi were diagnosed with similar frequency (9.5%), whereas skin tags more rarely (7%). Other ‘non-pathological’ lesions were diagnosed in a considerably lower number of patients. In 32 patients (8% of all patients) the reason of admission to the Clinic was just the presence of some ‘non-pathological’ lesions. Pearly penile papules were found to be the most common condition, occurring in 78.1% patients.ConclusionsNormal variants represent a substantial percentage of generally asymptomatic lesions and the only indication for their removal is cosmetic discomfort or venerophobia.

“…Fordyce's disease is ectopically located sebaceous glands, over mucous membrane of the mouth and lips 1,14 , characterized by the presence of whitish or yellowish, scanty or abundant, discrete, aggravated and often coalescent milium like bodies. 2 It occurs commonly inside of the mouth laterally along the line of the teeth as far back as the last molar and possibly somewhat less frequently on the vermilion or mucous and inner surface of the lips, cheeks, less often glans penis, labia mejora and minora.…”

Fordyce's disease, a rarely found disease of lips has been reported recently in department of Skin and VD, Gonosashthaya Somaj Vittic Medical College Hospital, Savar, Dhaka. Occasionally it may not be possible to identify the cause. The patient presented with identical features of Fordyce's disease and lip biopsy for histopathology showed the features of Fordyce's disease. Then patient was treated with Pimecrolimus cream and improved. Fordyce's disease is an extremely rare disorder. So its cutaneous findings, histopathology and treatments are highlighted here.Anwer Khan Modern Medical College Journal Vol. 9, No. 2: Jul 2018, P 148-151

“…1,2,5,7,8 Bonafé et al 8 reported Fordyce papules in areola, and Massmanian et al 9 reported them on the glans penis. Because the Fordyce spots are sebaceous glands that are free of sebaceous ducts, they directly commu-nicate with the surface, 5 considering then that heterotopic or ectopic sebaceous glands 1,6,9 can be accompanied by blackheads. 6 Histopathologically, they are normal sebaceous glands, consisting of a group of mature sebaceous lobes surrounding small ducts that emerge at the epithelium surface.…”
