Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Dermatology
  • Pediatric Gastroenterology

Background:

  • Infantile perineal protrusion is a recently identified condition affecting prepubertal children.
  • It is underreported in dermatologic and pediatric literature, leading to potential diagnostic challenges.

Observation:

  • The condition presents with specific anatomical location, morphology, and prevalence in children.
  • It can occur constitutionally (genetic/familial), functionally (due to constipation/diarrhea), or alongside lichen sclerosus et atrophicus.

Findings:

  • This review elucidates the mechanisms, diagnosis, classification, and management of infantile perineal protrusion.
  • Two new cases are presented to further clarify this condition.

Implications:

  • Accurate diagnosis is essential to prevent misidentification as condyloma acuminata or signs of trauma.
  • Correct identification avoids unnecessary investigations, such as those for sexual abuse, and ensures appropriate patient care.
