Penile ossification, a rare condition, can occur after trauma and present as a palpable mass. This case highlights extensive ossification confirmed by radiology and histology.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Penile ossification is a rare condition, with only 34 prior reported cases.
  • It is often associated with Peyronie disease and involves metaplastic bone formation.

Observation:

  • A 59-year-old man presented with penile pain and a palpable mass after blunt trauma.
  • Examination revealed a large, fixed mass involving the corporal sponge, with no erectile dysfunction.

Findings:

  • Radiography confirmed irregular calcification corresponding to the palpable mass.
  • Histological confirmation demonstrated extensive penile ossification.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the potential for significant penile ossification following trauma.
  • It emphasizes the importance of radiological and histological evaluation in diagnosing rare penile conditions.
