Intralesional sclerotherapy for angiokeratoma of Fordyce: A case report.

A 46-year-old male presented with a 6-year history of progressive, purplish-red, hyperkeratotic papules on the scrotum. These lesions bled during intercourse and routine activities, causing significant distress. Clinical examination and pathological evaluation confirmed the diagnosis of angiokeratoma of Fordyce. Due to patient preference and cost-effectiveness, sclerotherapy with 3% sodium tetradecyl sulfate was chosen. Following topical anesthesia, the lesions were injected with the sclerosing agent. After two sessions spaced 2 weeks apart, complete resolution of both the smaller and larger lesions was achieved. This case report expands the therapeutic options for angiokeratoma of Fordyce and highlights the successful utilization of 3% sodium tetradecyl sulfate sclerotherapy in achieving complete clearance with minimal invasiveness and cost.
