ABSTRACT
Hyperkeratosis of the nipple and areola is a rare condition characterized by verrucous thickening and brown pigmentation of the nipple and areola, with variants involving both or alone. The most common type is a nevoid form which occurs more often in women of childbearing age. We report a 62-year-old man with bilateral hyperkeratosis of areola. He has no history of endocrinopathy or exogenous hormonal therapy. Also, he had no other additional hyperkeratotic condition. The present case is a nevoid form by the Levy-Franckel classification and interesting in that it developed in an old man without any underlying disease, just confined to both areolas.
