          Abstract

          RESUMEN Las pápulas perladas del pene (PPP) son lesiones benignas de aspecto blanquecino perlado que se encuentran alrededor de la corona del glande. A pesar de ser asintomáticas y benignas por naturaleza, la aparición de PPP puede causar un gran malestar psicológico tanto al paciente como a su pareja sexual, por lo que se trata de un motivo de consulta frecuente en Atención Primaria por parte de hombres jóvenes. Presentamos el caso de un joven de 22 años que consultó por hallazgo casual de lesiones indoloras en el glande. Debido a que es importante tranquilizar al paciente respecto a la naturaleza de la lesión, resulta fundamental para la médica o médico de familia conocer su localización y su aspecto típico.

          Translated abstract

          ABSTRACT Pearly penile papules (PPP) are benign, pearly-white lesions located around the crown of the glans penis. Despite being asymptomatic and benign by nature, the appearance of PPP can cause major psychological discomfort to the patient and their sexual partner. It is a common reason for primary healthcare consultation by young men. We report the case of a 22-year-old man who consulted due to the accidental finding of painless lesions on the glans penis. As it is important to reassure the patient about the nature of the injury, knowledge of the location and its typical appearance by the family doctor is essential.

              Diagnosis and Management of Pearly Penile Papules.

              Pearly penile papules (PPP) are common, benign lesions that appear on the corona of the glans penis during adolescence or early adulthood. Despite their benign nature, PPP are known to cause significant distress because of their resemblance to sexually transmitted infections such as condyloma acuminata. PPP can be clinically distinguished based on their uniform, dome-shaped papules that orient in one to two rows around the glans penis. There is no association between PPP and sexually transmitted infections, and treatment is generally reserved for patients with excessive concern. Physicians should be aware of this distinction in order to adequately reassure anxious patients. For patients who still desire treatment after counseling, cryotherapy and laser therapy represent two reliable treatment options with low rates of recurrence.
