Abstract
Acrochordons are polypoid, skin-colored lesions and usually present at the site of skin folds. They are extremely rare on the glans penis. To the best of our knowledge, in English literature, this report presents the first case of an androgen receptor-positive penile acrochordon, which is located on the glans penis and showed a rapid growth along with body development during puberty.
