Abstract
- Milia are small, superficial keratin cysts believed to be derived from the pilosebaceous follicle, which arise most commonly on the cheeks and eyelids. We report a case of milium occurring on the glans penis in a 18-year-old man, who had a solitary dome-shaped, 2x2 mm sized, yellowish papule. The histopathological examination showed a small keratin-filled, intradermal cyst. The cyst was lined by a stratified epithelium that was a few cell layers thick. This is the first case report in the Korean dermatological literature of milium occurring on the glans penis without coexistence of other dermatoses.
