    Co-Authors: Anthony Hall
    Abstract:

    Fordyce Spots are sebaceous glands of genitalia, not associated with hair follicles (ectopic). Median raphe cysts are uncommon, benign developmental cysts on the midline of the ventral aspect of the penile shaft or glans penis.

  • Urologic Dermatology: a Review
    Current Urology Reports, 2017
    Co-Authors: Andrew W. Stamm, Kathleen C. Kobashi, Ksenija B. Stefanovic
    Abstract:

    Genital dermatology represents a challenge to many providers. Though dermatologic lesions involving the genitalia may present to any of a number of practices, ranging from primary care to urology, gynecology, and dermatology, few training programs provide significant training regarding the diagnosis and management of genital dermatologic lesions. The purpose of this review is to provide urologists with an overview of common genital dermatological lesions that may be encountered in a clinic. The review also provides a guide to how to approach these conditions. This manuscript summarizes the most common categories of genital dermatologic lesions, starting with normal variants and progressing to a review of contagious conditions, premalignant lesions, and malignant lesions. In cases in which a lesion does not definitively belong to one of these categories, an algorithmic approach to making a diagnosis may be helpful to narrow the differential diagnosis. The most common benign genital growths include cysts, syringomas, seborrheic keratosis, pearly papules, and Fordyce Spots. Contagious lesions, such as herpes, syphilis, scabies, or molluscum contagiosum, should be treated immediately before complications or transmission can occur. Inflammatory genital lesions are very diverse in etiology and presentation but are the most common genital lesions in urological clinical practice. This category of lesions can be approached by dividing them into non-erythematous and erythematous (scaling and non-scaling) lesions. Given the potential evolution of the challenging category of premalignant genital lesions, proper recognition and early biopsy play an important role. Premalignant lesions can be broadly classified into two categories: those not related to HPV infection and those that are related to HPV, including erythroplasia of Queyrat (EQ), Bowen’s disease, Bowenoid papulosis, vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia (VIN), and giant condyloma. Herein, contemporary nomenclature and proper evaluation and management of premalignant lesions are reviewed which provide safe and efficacious outcomes for patients. Finally, malignant genital lesions, though rare, must be recognized early and addressed correctly. Squamous cell carcinoma represents 95% of penile and approximately 90% of vulvar and vaginal malignancies, and diagnosis and management can be challenging and require proper referral to an oncologist. Genital dermatology is a challenging field marked by diagnostic difficulty and management challenges. This manuscript provides an overview of genitourinary dermatologic lesions in an effort to provide clinicians with a framework with which to approach the evaluation of these various conditions that will facilitate proper consideration of the differential diagnoses and help the urologist distinguish between normal, benign, premalignant, and malignant lesions.

  • treatment of Fordyce Spots with co2 laser
    Dermatologic Surgery, 2003
    Co-Authors: Jorge Ocampocandiani, Adriana Villarrealrodriguez, Alba G Quinonesfernandez, Maira Herzruelas, Javier Ruizesparza
    Abstract:

    Background. Fordyce Spots are heterotopic sebaceous glands that can be located at the lips' vermilion or the oral mucosa. Although this is considered a rather common disorder, a treatment for this condition that sometimes affects patients from only a cosmetic viewpoint has not yet been described. Objective. To evaluate CO2 superpulsed laser treatment in two subjects with Fordyce Spots. Methods. Two patients with papules and yellowish plaques at the upper lip corresponding to Fordyce Spots were treated with coherent Ambulase CO2 superpulsed laser (Coherent Medical, Palo Alto, CA); after informed consent was obtained, two to three passes were performed in one session using 2 and 4 W and a spot size of 2 mm. Results. Complete re-epithelization was observed 2 weeks later with no residual Fordyce papules in the treated area and no side effects. Conclusion. Our findings suggest that CO2 superpulsed laser can be considered a safe and effective treatment for patients with Fordyce Spots, offering excellent cosmetic results.

  • unilateral buccal Fordyce Spots with ipsilateral facial paralysis a sign of neuro sebaceous connection
    Acta Dermato-venereologica, 2012
    Co-Authors: A T Mansur, I E Aydingoz
    Abstract:

    © 2012 The Authors. doi: 10.2340/00015555-1218 Journal Compilation © 2012 Acta Dermato-Venereologica. ISSN 0001-5555 Fordyce Spots (FS) are ectopic sebaceous glands clinically characterized by minute orange or yellowish pinheadsized macules or papules located in different sites in the oral cavity, mainly at the upper lip vermilion, retromolar area, and buccal mucosa. In most cases the clinical features are characteristic enough to diagnose FS easily without the need for histopathological examination (1). We report here a patient with unilateral, intraoral FS, and ipsilateral facial paralysis.
