Abstract

Clitoroplasty, especially in an adult, is a rare procedure. The goals of clitoroplasty are to achieve a normal genital appearance and to preserve sensation with a satisfactory sexual response. We present two cases of acquired clitoromegaly. Case 1 is a 46-year-old woman with clitoromegaly caused by an androgen-producing ovarian tumor. The second case is a 49-year-old woman with clitoromegaly resulting from a prolonged history of self-injected anabolic steroid use. Both women underwent a clitoral reduction procedure with preservation of the neurovascular supply to the glans clitoris. Clitoroplasty is an uncommon procedure that is useful in correcting acquired clitoromegaly. The results are cosmetically acceptable, and sexual function can be preserved.
