Background:

Angioedema is a swelling that occurs under the skin.
Prilocaine is a local anesthetic commonly found in topical creams.

Observation:

A patient developed localized swelling of the glans penis.
The swelling was a reaction to EMLA cream containing prilocaine.

Findings:

This is the first reported case of localized angioedema of the glans penis due to contact allergy to prilocaine.
The condition is proposed to be termed contact angioedema.

Implications:

This case highlights a potential adverse reaction to topical anesthetics.
The proposed term 'contact angioedema' may improve clinical recognition and reporting of similar cases.
