Abstract
Injection into the subcutaneous tissues of the penis for augmentation has been practiced throughout history. With the recognition of complications and sequalae the practice has died out in the developed world. However, it is still practiced in parts of Europe and Asia today, though the extent of the practice is unknown, and today’s published literature may only scratch the surface. We report a case of mineral oil induced sclerosing lipogranuloma of the penis in a 55-year-old male from Papua New Guinea who presented with a mass involving the penile prepuce and shaft skin. This case demonstrates the diagnostic challenges and interesting pathology seen in developing countries. The treatment of choice is radical excision of the lesions with skin grafts.
