“…3 Finally, Champion and Wegrzyn described a case of congenital os penis in 1964 in a 5-year-old boy who had bone in his penis making its curvature fixed from the birth. 7 As with the earlier cases, this observation was thought to strengthen the atavistic viewpoint.…”

“…Another related condition, "congenital human os penis," is also extremely rare, with only 1 reported case in a 5-year-old boy. 1 Ossification of the penis is most commonly due to Peyronie's disease, a chronic inflammation of tunica albuginea that leads to penile fibrosis. The hardened plaque reduces flexibility and leads to a penile bend or curvature during erection.…”

Penile ossification is very rare, with only a handful of histologically confirmed reported cases. The most common condition leading to penile ossification is Peyronie's disease. Other conditions, such as gout, end-stage renal disease, diabetes mellitus, hyperparathyroidism and local trauma, have also been associated with penile ossification. We report a unique case of near-complete penile ossification of the corporal bodies with histologic confirmation on pathologic review. Our report summarizes the literature regarding this rare entity.

“…Several conditions have been correlated with this problem and the most frequent is Peyronie disease. [1][2][3][4] In the present report, a further case of human penile ossifi cation is presented. The importance of this report lies in the extent of the penile ossifi cation, as demonstrated by the radiological and histological confi rmation.…”

“…[3][4][5] One extremely rare case of a congenital condition has been reported. 2 McClellan was probably the fi rst to report human penile ossifi cation, in 1827, and Gerster and Mandelbaum were the fi rst to do a histological study on the specimen, in …”

Human penile ossification: case report

CONTEXT: Ossifi cation in the human penis is such a rare condition that only 34 histologically evident cases have previously been reported. Among several conditions that have been correlated with this problem the most frequent is Peyronie disease. In all these conditions, human penile ossifi cation appears to be a metaplastic bone formation process. CASE REPORT:A 59-year-old white man presented with a one-year history of slight pain upon erection and during intercourse. He also complained of hard plaque near the base of the penis. One year earlier, he had sustained blunt trauma during intercourse. Examination of the penis revealed a fi xed fi rm mass extending over the proximal third of the penile shaft, measuring 3.0 x 3.0 x 2.0 cm and involving the corporal sponge, without surface extension. There was no impotence or other relevant clinical fi nding. Radiography on the penis revealed irregular calcifi cation in the same position as the palpable mass and in the septum of the proximal inner third of the penis. The importance of this report lies in the extent of the human penile ossifi cation, as demonstrated by the radiological and histological confi rmation.
