“…Increased venous pressure contributes to the pathogenesis of these vascular lesions. This would explain the association with varicocele [3]. Increased venous pressure can also be caused by an epididymal mass or inguinal hernia.…”

“…There are three reports describing unilateral angiokeratomas of the scrotum. Two of the three cases showed a varicocele on the ipsilateral side [3,4]. It is recognized that varicoceles can be subclinical and therefore are not detected on physical examination and require ultrasound study for diagnosis [5].…”

“…Mosaicism, which would limit the development of angiokeratomas to genetically sensitive regions, might be one explanation. In this regard, it has been hypothesized that, at least in some cases, scrotal angiokeratomas may result from a congenital abnormality affecting the walls of the venules [ 8 ]. However, the lesions do not manifest themselves clinically until maturity.…”

Angiokeratomas are benign vascular lesions that can occur anywhere in the body. Fordyce angiokeratomas, also known as genital angiokeratomas, often develop on the vulva in women and the scrotum in males. A subtype of genital angiokeratoma in males is called penile angiokeratoma (PEAKER). In females, clitoral angiokeratoma (CLANKER) is the embryologic equivalent. As a result of the underlying pathophysiology, these lesions are often bilateral. Unilateral Fordyce angiokeratoma instances are infrequent, and unilateral PEAKER cases have never been previously documented. We describe a case of Fordyce's unilateral angiokeratoma with unilateral PEAKER. To the best of our knowledge, such a variation in presentation of this rare disease has not been previously reported.

“…Rarely they can be found on the glans penis, inguinal folds, and upper thighs in men and on the vulva in women. They are usually bilateral in nature [ 5 ]. The color of the lesions may be in a spectrum ranging between red, blue, purple, and black.…”

Fordyce angiokeratoma is a benign lesion commonly developing on the scrotal skin. The incidence increases with age. About half of these lesions may be symptomatic and frequently cause itching and bleeding. Although the treatment is not always considered necessary, several treatment methods are used for symptomatic cases, especially for cosmetic purposes. Treatment options include surgical excision, laser ablation, electrocoagulation, cryotherapy, and sclerotherapy. The most widely used methods are electrocoagulation and cryotherapy. Although these two methods are similarly effective and safe, there are differences in means of patient comfort and cosmetic outcomes. Patient comfort can be defined as pain management during the procedure and the healing period. Bleeding and wound infection are other parameters that may decrease patient comfort. Patients would prefer treatment methods with less or no pain and shorter recovery periods, healthcare providers, and insurance. The cosmetic result is another critical issue, especially for patients with multiple lesions. Treatment methods avoiding genital scars are more likely to meet the aesthetic demands of the patients.
