Pearly papules are small reddish papules that appear around the glans penis in the coronal groove of the penis. They are common in young people and adults, usually between 20 and 40 years old, and occur in 10% of normal people. They are more common in young people with prepuce hyperplasia and masturbation habits. Generally, there are no conscious symptoms, and they are often found suddenly after bathing or unclean sexual intercourse, and they are easily misdiagnosed as condyloma acuminatum. The histopathological findings are the same as those of vulvar pseudowarts, with papillary protrusions in appearance, mild hypertrophy of the mucosal epithelium, and vacuolar appearance similar to normal mucosa in the middle and upper parts of the epithelium. The vacuoles are uniform in size and shape, with no dark staining and condensation of cell nuclei. The mucosal epithelium is wrapped in loose connective tissue, and the capillaries in the connective tissue proliferate and dilate, with a few lymphocytes infiltrating.
