[Bilateral nevoid hyperkeratosis of the areola mammae].

Abstract

Neviform hyperkeratosis of the areola mammae is a relatively rare benign lesion observed mainly in women, most often associated with hormonal changes. In this case report, we present an 84-year-old male patient with bilateral hyperkeratotic plaques localized to the areola mammae. Given the rarity of this diagnosis, a histopathological examination was performed, which confirmed the presence of a benign pathology. This case report details the clinical features, diagnostic and therapeutic options, and differential diagnosis of naeviform hyperkeratosis of the areola mammae based on the available literature.
