“…Cryotherapy has been applied for cavernous hemangiomas of the penis with the risk of large blood loss, prolonged healing, and necrosis of the adjacent tissues . The laser especially the neodymium:YAG laser is widely used for hemangioma on glans penis and demonstrates good functional and cosmetic results, but this method is expensive and costly . Furthermore, it was recommended that a laser be applied in small hemangiomas restricted to the glans penis .…”

“…The laser especially the neodymium:YAG laser is widely used for hemangioma on glans penis and demonstrates good functional and cosmetic results, but this method is expensive and costly . Furthermore, it was recommended that a laser be applied in small hemangiomas restricted to the glans penis . Sclerotherapy has proved to be an effective, low‐cost, and easy‐to‐perform procedure, but it can be associated with complications such as Peyronie's disease, cutaneous necrosis, ulceration, and hyperpigmentation .…”

Introduction Cavernous hemangiomas of penis are rare benign lesions infrequently described in the literature. No completely satisfactory treatment has been found to correct the cosmetic deformities especially the extensive hemangiomas of corpus penis. Aim In light of the promising application of copper wire/needle in vascular malformations, we began a clinical study to investigate the safety, feasibility, and cosmetic effect of copper wire therapy in treating cavernous hemangioma of penis. Methods Seven patients ranging in age from 12 to 32 years with penile cavernous hemangiomas entered our study from 2005 to 2011. All patients received treatments with percutaneous copper wires. Main Outcome Measures Perioperative data including mean operation time, estimated blood loss, length of copper wire retention, and length of hospital stay were analyzed. All possible complications were noted, and cosmetic result was evaluated. Patients were followed up after discharge from the hospital. Results All operations were successful, and no obvious complications were observed. The patients were satisfied with the aesthetic results. Follow-up time ranged from 1 to 5 years. Recurrence was discovered in a patient with the largest lesion of corpus penis 2 months after the treatment. Secondary procedure was carried out with the same technique, and no lesions were found later. Conclusions The shortage of studies on this topic prevented us from defining a therapeutic reference standard. The results of our study confirmed that copper wire therapy was a simple, safe, and useful option for penile cavernous hemangioma.
