ABSTRACT
We report two cases of hyperkeratosis of the nipple and areola which occurred in 22-year-old woman and 13-year-old girl. The former was suffered from mild pruritic, verrucous thickening and brownish discoloration of both nipples and areolae for 5 years. The latter had asymptomatic, verrucous thickening and dark brownish hyper- pigmentation of the right nipple and areola for 3 years. Both showed mild to marked hyperkeratosis and papillomatosis with increased pigmentation in the basal cell layer histopathologically. In both cases, the lesions were not responsive to the topical medications including steroids and keratolytic agents. Therefore we recommended surgical excision because the patients are greatly disturbed by the appearance of the lesions.
