[Lentigo of the glans penis].
The report deals with two male patients with penile lentigo. Histologically acanthosis, basal hyperpigmentation, and melanocytes without atypia were found. Ultrastructural analysis revealed the presence of single melanosomes within the keratinocytes as the most prominent feature of penile lentigo. In one patient, topical treatment with acelaic acid resulted in some improvement within 4 months.
