Background: Penile injection of paraffin is one of procedure that people think can increase penile size. Nevertheless, many people do not know if paraffin injection causes significant adverse effects such as penile paraffinoma. A surgical procedure by wide excision of skin and subcutaneous tissue infiltrated by paraffin continued with appropriate phalloplasty could be done as definitive therapy with the good aesthetic and functional result. This case report aims to present penile parafinoma or sclerosing lipogranuloma due to subcutaneous penile injection of paraffin, its management and the result after surgical procedure. Case: A 40-year-old man came to the Urology Polyclinic, Mangusada Badung Regional Hospital who presented with penile swelling and pain for 3 days. There was a history of subcutaneous penile injection of paraffin about one-year ago by non-medical personnel. On examination of genital organ, there was swelling on entire penile skin with tenderness and induration. A surgical procedure was performed using a two-step cutaneous plasty technique with scrotal flaps on the shaft of the penis. After two months, the surgical procedure gave an excellent penile aesthetic and functional result. Conclusion: Penile parafinoma is a lipogranulomatous inflammatory reaction due to injection of paraffin substance, which cases are still found today, especially in Indonesia. Reconstructive surgery is the definitive therapy to overcome aesthetic or functional problems.
Penile cancer is a rare malignancy of the male genital system. Approximately 98% of penile cancer corresponds to squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), with further morphological and molecular classification into human papillomavirus (HPV) dependent and non-HPV SCC. Compared to HPV-induced SCC, non-HPV SCC appeared to have a worse prognosis. Here, we present a case of an uncircumcised male with an unusual coral-like polymorphic lesion, and confirmed histopathology of well-differentiated non-HPV penile SCC with rapid growth progression.
Objective: This study was made to evaluate efficacy and success rate of Percutaneous Epididymal Sperm Aspiration (PESA), Microsurgical Epididymal Sperm Aspiration (MESA), or Testicular Sperm Extraction (TESE) in azoopsermic patients, and evaluate IVF program’s pregnancy rate by comparing methods of sperm retrieval. Material & method: A descriptive retrospective study to azoospermic patients undergone PESA, MESA or TESE and IVF program in Bunda Hospital Jakarta and Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital Jakarta in 2011–2012. The data were collected from patients’ medical records and IVF program’s database. Results: There were 146 azoospermic patients with mean age 38.97 ± 7.35 years. Viable sperm was found in 46 patients (31.5%) by PESA and 47 patients (32.2%) by MESA and TESE. The IVF program was followed by 72 patients. Sperm was retrieved by PESA in 43 patients (59.7%) and TESE in 29 patients (40.3%). Pregnancy was achieved in 18 patients in PESA group (25%) and 15 patients (20.8%) in TESE group. Conclusion: Sperm can be retrieved from azoospermic patients by PESA, MESA or TESE, and there was good success rate in pregnancy rate of IVF program by using surgically retrieved sperm.
