“…A single report detailing development of squamous cell carcinoma of a penile FEP has been published, 9 consistent with reports of malignant transformation in cutaneous FEPs. 18 Similarly, a case of urothelial carcinoma has been reported in a ureteral FEP.…”

“…3 Recurrence has been reported at varying intervals and is amendable to repeat excision. In 2012, Kampantais and colleagues summarized the literature and detailed 20 patients with penile FEPs; nine of these patients had a history of chronic condom catheter use, 9 a finding echoed by Mason and colleagues in an earlier publication. 15 Tsai and colleagues reported a penile FEP in a 50-year-old a man practicing genital-hanging Kung Fu, which involves hanging heavy weights on the penis with the intention of achieving health benefits.…”

“…8 In contrast to the squamous lining seen in cutaneous cases, FEPs of the genitourinary tract have a urothelial lining. 8,9 In children they have been documented antenatally, 10 and in many cases are thought to be congenital; 11 however, they may occur in multiple sites in the lower urinary tract in children post-pyeloplasty. 12,13 These polypoid or cauliflower-like masses have a median size of 2.5 cm (maximal size reported is 8 cm 14 ), and usually involve the ventral glans penis.…”

Fibroepithelial polyps are rare benign tumours of the glans penis; there are only a few reported cases. The pathogenesis is unknown. However, they have been linked with chronic condom catheter use or prior penile surgery. We report a case of a 62-year-old man with a large fibroepithelial polyp of the glans penis of 11 years duration, which was not associated with condom catheter use or prior surgery. The mass was large, measuring 7 × 5 × 3 cm. Fibroepithelial polyps have been reported in a range of genitourinary sites in males and females, adults and children, and in rare cases may be associated with malignant transformation. They should be considered in the differential diagnosis of both cutaneous and mucosal genitourinary lesions.

“…Een FEP ontstaat zelden in de tractus urogenitalis [3], maar als ze zich hier voordoen, worden ze doorgaans in een ureter aangetroffen en sporadisch op de glans penis [4]. Tot op heden zijn er -voor zover ons bekend -22 casus over peniele FEP's [2,5,6].…”

“…Er wordt verondersteld dat chronisch lokale druk, inflammatie of eerdere chirurgie kan leiden tot het ontstaan van FEP's [7]. FEP's op de glans penis worden vooral gezien bij langdurig gebruik van condoomkatheters en in enkele gevallen bij een (para)fimose [4,6]. Sporadisch is er sprake van een congenitale afwijking of is er geen duidelijke oorzaak aan te wijzen [5,8].…”

Case report. Progressieve zwelling op de glans penis bij gebruik van een buitenwaarts draagurinaal

Samenvatting Een progressieve zwelling op de glans penis is verdacht voor een maligniteit. Differentiaaldiagnostisch kan er ook gedacht worden aan benigne afwijkingen, zoals een fibro-epitheliale poliep (FEP). Een FEP is een tumor die zelden voorkomt op de glans penis. Hieraan lijken chronische lokale druk, inflammatie of eerdere peniele chirurgie ten grondslag te liggen. Klinisch kan het lastig zijn een FEP te diagnosticeren en daarom is het verkrijgen van histologie noodzakelijk. Behandeling bestaat uit excisie. Hier beschrijven wij een zwelling op de glans penis bij een 75-jarige man die een buitenwaarts draagurinaal gebruikt. Hoewel wij aanvankelijk dachten aan een maligniteit, toonde histologisch onderzoek een FEP aan. Trefwoorden fibro-epitheliale poliep • glans penis • draagurinaal Case report. Progressive neoplasm of the glans penis associated with the use of a body-worn urinary reservoir Abstract A progressive lesion on the glans penis is suspect for a malignancy. However, the differential diagnosis also includes benign proliferations such as a fibro-epithelial polyp (FEP). A FEP is a tumor that is rarely formed on the glans penis. Chronic local pressure, inflammation and prior penile surgery seems to elicit the formation of a FEP. Clinically, it can be challenging to diagnose a FEP and therefore histological evaluation is mandatory. Therapy consists of surgical excision. Here we describe a 75-year-old man who uses a body-worn urine reservoir with a lesion on the drs. H. A. de Barros () • dr.

Computed tomography (CT) of a 68-year-old man showed multiple small nodules in the bilateral lungs (maximum 14 mm in the left upper lobe). CT-guided biopsy of left upper lobe lesion showed no tumor or granuloma. Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET/CT showed multiple nodules with background-to-mild FDG-avid activity, and an incidental left scrotal skin lesion with intensely increased accumulation of 18F-FDG (SUVmax, 11.7), suspected malignant. After urologist consultation, local dermatological findings suggested a huge wart. Excision was done, and pathology concluded nodular papillary fibroepithelial polyp with acute and chronic inflammation.
