Case report reveals flesh-colored papules on the glans penis, indicating a benign encapsulated tumor.
A 23-year-old man reported a 3-year history of slowly growing, slightly itchy, flesh-colored papules on the distal glans penis. He denied any history of trauma or previous treatment. Additionally, he experienced no difficulties with urination, discharge, or erectile function. Upon examination, three firm, dome-shaped papules were found to be attached to the skin but mobile over the underlying tissues. There was no regional lymph node enlargement, hardening, or fluctuation observed. Histopathological analysis revealed a well-defined, encapsulated tumor in the dermis, consisting of spindle cells interspersed with varying numbers of axons.
