Abstract
An anxious patient consults for round, brown raised lesions on the scrotum, because he believes he is infested with ectoparasites. In fact, these are angiokeratomas, which may suggest ectoparasites, but are only benign tumors due to dilation of superficial cutaneous vessels, the pathophysiology of which is unknown.
