Lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV) can cause a rare saxophone penis deformity due to lymphatic obstruction. This report details a genito-anorectal LGV case with this penile appearance and imaging findings.

Area of Science:

Urology
Infectious Diseases
Radiology

Background:

Saxophone penis deformity is often linked to chronic lymphatic obstruction.
Lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV) is a significant etiological factor for this condition.

Observation:

A case study presents a patient with genito-anorectal syndrome and a saxophone penis.
Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) was utilized to assess anorectal involvement.

Findings:

The study details the CECT findings associated with anorectal LGV.
A hypothesis is proposed to explain the characteristic saxophone penis appearance in this context.

Implications:

This case highlights the importance of recognizing LGV as a cause of penile deformity.
