aSize is reported as given in the case reports. This is measured in either in diameter, length × width, or length × width × height

bThree red papules about 1 mm in diameter were scattered in the surrounding area of the lesion. The patient noticed a nodule on the nonpsoriatic part of his scrotum while receiving systemic and topical PUVA therapy. The nodule appeared when the cumulative UVA dosage reached 27.6 J/cm2

cThis patient had four 2–3-mm diameter red papules adjacent to his 7 mm verrucous nodule

dThe patient also had a pulsating subcutaneous induration covered by lightly purplish skin under his scrotal nodule

eJoshi and Ovhal [2] documented a case of a single scrotal lesion that was diagnosed as a verruciform xanthoma in their report. There was no other information available on the patient

fMehra et al. stated that one patient in their study had 2 scrotal lesions appearing at different times in the same year [46]. No other information about the lesions was given

gFukuda H and Saito R performed a review of the Japanese dermatological literature in 2005 and found 100 scrotal cases that were not cited in this review. 36.3% of the lesions were on the left of the scrotum, 31.4% were on the right of the scrotum, 6.9% were bilateral, and 25.4% did not specify [34]

hFurue et al. conducted a study using a sample from a scrotal verruciform xanthoma from a 69-year-old man. No other information about the patient was reported [56]

iHelm et al. reported an additional scrotal case with no other information [26]
