Penile Subcutaneous Fibrolipoma Postaugmentative Phalloplasty

Abstract

Fibrolipomas are a rare subtype of lipomas. We describe a case of a man suffering from subcutaneous penile fibrolipoma, who three months earlier has been submitted to an augmentative phalloplasty due to aesthetic dysmorphophobia. After six months from the excision of the mass, the penile elongation and penile enlargement were stable, and the patient was satisfied with his sexual intercourse and sexual life. To our knowledge, this is the first reported penile subcutaneous fibrolipoma case in the literature. The diagnostics and surgical features of this case are discussed.

A rare case report: Penile lipoma after hypospadias repair

“…Very few penile lipomas are reported in the literature. We have encountered only one case of penile lipoma after augmentative phalloplasty operation (Vicini et al, ). Reconstructive surgeries performed on the penis may lead to lipoma formation because they disrupt the structure of subcutaneous tissue.…”
