Granulomas do pênis: uma complicação rara da terapia intravesical com Bacilo Calmette-Guérin

Abstract: Abstract:Immunotherapy with Bacillus Calmette-Guérin is widely used for treatment and prophylaxis of superficial urothelial cancer. Complications associated with Bacillus Calmette-Guérin treatment are common. The authors describe a case of granulomatous inflammation of the penis associated with intravesical Bacillus Calmette-Guérin therapy, presenting with multiple erythematous and painless nodules located on the glans. A review of the literature is also performed. Granulomatous balanoposthitis is a rare compl… Show more

“…The most widely reported penile complication of BCG is granulomatous balanitis, with symptoms including penile edema, papules, and ulcers, occasionally associated with inguinal lymphadenopathies, typically presenting after multiple cycles of BCG [24]. The time interval between BCG immunotherapy and the onset of skin lesions has been variable, and it ranged from immediately after the instillation to 1 year after the last instillation [25]. The mechanism of infection has been thought to be associated to direct penis inoculation by traumatic urethral catheterization prior to BCG instillation, but the risk factors have been not confirmed.…”

“…Podem surgir outras complicações como prostatite granulomatosa, epididimite, obstrução do ureter e o envolvimento do parênquima renal (12). Raramente ocorrem complicações sistêmicas graves, sendo que nestas há o envolvimento de órgãos e/ou sistemas e a infecção disseminada por BCG, o que explica o tratamento precoce com tuberculostáticos (9). Em estudos clínicos realizados por Nakamura e colaboradores (13), a incidência de efeitos colaterais foi de 78,3%, o que levou apenas 20% dos pacientes a terminarem o tratamento com BCG.…”
