“…With respect to the male genitalia, granulomatous inflammation has been previously observed in rare cases of sarcoidosis and, more commonly, in patients using injectable fillers into the penis for cosmetic purposes 1 . Materials such as mineral oil, silicone, collagen, and hyaluronic acid have all been documented as leading to granuloma formation within the male genitalia 1, 2, 3. In addition, topical administration of talc has been shown to be involved in foreign-body granuloma formation 4 .…”

Granulomas are collections of histiocytes that develop as an inflammatory response to bacterial and fungal infections, as well as foreign substances. We discuss here the case of a 49-year-old male who presented with a penile and scrotal mass with granulomatous inflammation, after application of a topical cream for enhancement of erectile function. While granuloma formation can often be seen with penile injections, this case presents the rare development of a foreign body granuloma after topical cream application on the penis and scrotum.

“…In addition, the penis has a great deal of mobility between the skin layer and the underlying corpora, so that the penis can vary in size. Sexual intercourse causes many small traumas at the location of the deformed filler deposits, so the risk of infection is high (1,3).…”

A 24-year-old circumcised man presented with an ulcerative lesion on the penis which had been present for 3 days. He reported that the lesion had appeared after sexual intercourse with his girlfriend. He had been circumcised in childhood for religious reasons. Clinical examination revealed an ulcerative and crusted posthitis with multiple ulcers, penile oedema and bilateral inguinal lymphadenopathy (Fig. 1). The patient reported having fever and malaise. Cutaneous swabs for herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2, Treponema pallidum and Chlamydia trachomatis PCR were negative, whereas cutaneous swab for bacterial culture detected Streptococcus pyogenes and Staphylococcus aureus. Serological tests for syphilis, HIV and hepatitis C virus were negative. Systemic therapy with ceftriaxone, 1 g i.m. for 5 days, was prescribed, which resulted in improvement in the ulcerative lesions and general symptoms, but hard penile oedema was still present.The patient denied any aberrant sexual activity or other sexual practices, even upon further questioning. The personal history of the otherwise healthy patient was inconspicuous. Fig. 1. Ulcerative and crusted posthitis with multiple ulcers and penile oedema.
