Description
Summary:Blood tests including lipid profile were within the normal levels and serology for hepatitis and human immunodeficiency virus was negative. A review of previously reported cases revealed that although the pedunculated or sessile tumor on the penis may present in a broad range of colors, from whitish or skin-colored to pinkish-red and brown, it usually has a yellowish hue, which may be considered as an important clinical clue for differentiation from other tumoral lesions, including mainly condyloma acuminatum. Surgical excision remains the gold standard for the treatment of verruciform xanthoma, whereas superficial electrocauterization, carbon dioxide laser, cryotherapy, radiotherapy, topical steroids, and imiquimod have been used in select cases.
