Papular acantholytic dyskeratosis of the genitalia

A 32-year-old man presented with multiple papules on the pubic area for 5 months. There were no subjective symptoms. We could not find any clues for predisposing factors. Pathological examination of the excised papules revealed marked acantholysis and dyskeratosis in the epidermis. The lesions persisted for 5 months after the pathological examination. We consider the present case to be similar to that of Chorzelski et al., papular acantholytic dyskeratosis of the vulva, reported in 1984. We would like to propose this case as papular acantholytic dyskeratosis of the genitalia.
