Abstract:

We present a case of penile and scrotal oedema in a young man. Although oestradiol treatment and compression bandaging provided some relief from the symptoms, neither therapy was ideal. Triangular resection of the foreskin was therefore performed, although the oedema persisted. The aetiology of the condition remains unknown.

Keywords: erysipelas; lymphoedema; penis
