Pyogenic granuloma of the glans penis

Abstract

A 29-year-old man presented with 7×4 cm tumour of the glans penis, with phimosis. A red papule on the glans noticed 2 years earlier had increased rapidly over several months before his first visit to our clinic. On retracting the prepuce, a darkly reddened polypoid tumour was apparent. The tumour had a narrow pedicle on the left dorsolateral surface of the glans ( Fig.

“…Predisposing factors for the appearance of pyogenic granulomas are trauma, chronic irritation, and hormonal factors (5). Pyogenic granuloma of the male genitalia has rarely been reported (1–4); a literature search failed to reveal any association with circumcision. Our patient's lesion is␣unique because of its early appearance in infancy, location on the penile shaft, and association with circumcision.…”

“…In previous rare reports of pyogenic granuloma involving the male genitalia, these lesions have been related to zipper trauma, application of cosmetics resulting in chemical trauma, or trauma during sexual intercourse (1–4). Unexpectedly the literature lacks even a single case report of this entity arising following the most common of surgical procedures: neonatal circumcision.…”

Multiple, genital lobular capillary haemangioma (pyogenic granuloma) in a young woman: a diagnostic puzzle

“…[4][5][6][7] However, a literature search (using Medline) has revealed no previous reports of pyogenic granuloma involving the female genitalia. This might in the past have discouraged clinicians from making this diagnosis when it was appropriate to do so.…”

Huge Pyogenic Granuloma of the Penis

“…They are equally common in males and females and exhibit no racial or familial predisposition. These lesions can be seen in various organs but have rarely been reported on the penis [ 1 ]. We present a patient with a huge polypoid pyogenic granuloma of the penile shaft.…”
