Conclusion: This study highlights the clinical and dermatoscopic features of facial melanosis. Further research is required in this field of dermatoscopic evaluation of facial melanosis to define more accurate diagnostic features as a facial biopsy is mostly refused by the patients, yet meanwhile, clinical evaluation should not be neglected.

Conclusion: Lymphangiomatosis is a condition marked by the presence of cysts that result from an increase both in the size and number of thin-walled lymphatic channels that are abnormally interconnected and dilated. It can affect skin and other organs in the body. Genital lymphangiomatosis may arise from primary or secondary lymphatic abnormalities.It affects both sexes, and frequently misdiagnosed as genital warts. In this concise report, we present an adult male with diffuse penoscrotal lymphangiomatosis associated with a peculiar penile deformity, known as “Saxophone penis”.
