Abstract

Background: Penile paraffinoma is a rare cause of penile swelling that occurs as a consequence of penile augmentation procedures which are performed by non-medical personnel without proper medical consultations. It is a serious condition that causes a negative impact on patients inflicted with it and it must be properly addressed.

This is a case report on a 32-year-old gentleman who presented with penile swelling and subsequently diagnosed with penile paraffinoma. This article describes the patient’s presentation and the surgical management which is the best treatment option available.
