Abstract
Angioma of the scrotum (the Fordyce Lesion) is an uncommon disorder in the young, white adult. Bean1 observed scrotal angiomas in 70 of a total of 500 men of 50 years or older. He found this scrotal vascular lesion on only 1 younger than 50; that man was 47 years of age. Scrotal angiomas are apparently more prevalent in the yellow race. Izaki 2 found them in 3.22% of 1,552 Japanese men. The youngest was 18 years old; the frequency of these lesions increased with age. The incidence was 16.67% in men over the age of 70 years. Angioma of the scrotum is essentially asymptomatic. Bean1 reported bleeding from this lesion in 3 of his 70 cases. I wish to report the cases of 2 young men with scrotal angiomas that have bled.
