  • Chronic penile strangulation is a rare condition.
  • Reported cases of penile strangulation are limited, with only five previously documented.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report an additional case of chronic penile strangulation.
  • To describe the progressive penile lymphedema resulting from long-term strangulation.

Main Methods:

  • A case study of a 49-year-old man with a 6-year history of using a rubber band for erotic purposes.
