Penile melanosis is a new disease entity which is benign and different from pigmented nevus and acral lentiginous melanoma in situ.
A 20-year-old man had hyperpigmented macules on the glans penis and penile shaft for 5 years. Clinical and histologic findings were consistent with penile melanosis and giant melanosome complexes were observed ultrastructurally.
