Angiokeratoma is a vascular cutaneous disorder that is generally asymptomatic and presents with multiple dark red to blue or black papules over the skin. The prevalence of angiokeratoma increases as the age increases and it is more common after third and fourth decades of life. There are different types of angiokeratoma which may be localized forms (angiokeratoma of Mibelli, angiokeratoma circumscriptum, solitary angiokeratoma, and angiokeratoma of the scrotum or vulva) or diffuse variant (angiokeratoma corporis diffusum). Here, we report a series of five rare cases of angiokeratoma of Fordyce, of which two cases had vulval involvement and one case showed lesions on unilateral scrotal wall which was unusual.
