Angiokeratomas are benign vascular lesions. Genital angiokeratomas, also referred to as Fordyce angiokeratomas, usually occur on the scrotum in men and the vulva in women. Penile angiokeratoma (PEAKER) is a subtype of genital angiokeratoma in men; clitoral angiokeratoma (CLANKER) is its embryologic analog in women. The PubMed database was used to search the following words: angiokeratoma, clitoris, genital, peaker, penile, penis, rejuvenation, scrotal, scrotum and vulva. The relevant papers and references cited in those papers that were generated by the search were reviewed. The purpose of this article is to summarize the features of PEAKERs. PEAKERs have been described in 54 men. They usually appeared in younger men and had been present for a mean duration of 4 years prior to the individual seeking medical attention. Only 39% of the men had angiokeratoma-associated symptoms:
