Abstract:Acrochordons are polypoid, skin-colored lesions usually present at the site of skin folds. They are extremely rare in the preputial area of the penis and do not tend to grow. To the best of our knowledge, in English literature, this report presents the first case of an androgen receptor-positive penile acrochordon, which is located on the penis and showed rapid growth along with body development during puberty with no underlying causes such as acromegaly, diabetes, obesity, and trauma.
