Penile paraffinoma, a rare condition resulting from mineral oil injections for enlargement, was diagnosed and surgically treated. This practice, though uncommon in Western countries, persists in Eastern Europe.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Dermatology
  • Plastic Surgery

Background:

  • Mineral oil injections for penile enlargement, a practice with historical roots, carry significant risks.
  • While uncommon in Western nations, this procedure remains prevalent in some Eastern European regions.

Observation:

  • A 40-year-old man presented with a year-long history of penile mass and phimosis.
  • He reported multiple mineral oil injections eight years prior for penile enhancement.

Findings:

  • The diagnosis was penile paraffinoma, a benign granulomatous reaction to injected mineral oil.
  • Surgical excision was successfully performed to remove the paraffinoma.

Implications:

  • Highlights the long-term complications of non-medical penile augmentation procedures.
