#** '''Most common acquired cystic lesion of the penis'''
#* May form after penile surgery, including circumcision and hypospadias repair, owing to islands of epithelium within the subcutaneous tissue. Excision of the epidermal inclusion is recommended.
# '''Congenital Penile Nevi'''
#* '''Pigmented lesions that can form on the glans and penile shaft tend to be superficial and benign and should be excised'''
# '''Juvenile Xanthogranuloma'''
#* Uncommon benign lesion of the penis
#* '''Lesions appear as solitary or multiple pigmented (yellow, orange, gold, brown, or red) nodules of rapid onset. They measure 2-20 mm in diameter and are well demarcated, firm, and rubbery.'''
#* Predominantly seen in infancy or early childhood.
#* '''The lesion is often self-limited, and a period of 1 year of expectant monitoring is advised to avoid potentially unnecessary ablative genital surgery'''
