Summary
A penile fibro-epithelial polyp, a rare benign growth, was successfully treated in a 39-year-old male. This case highlights the importance of considering such lesions in the differential diagnosis of penile tumors.
Area of Science:
- Urology
- Dermatopathology
Background:
- Penile fibro-epithelial polyps are rare, benign tumors.
- Differential diagnosis of penile lesions can be challenging due to varied presentations.
Observation:
- A 39-year-old male presented with a wart-like growth on the penile frenulum.
- The lesion caused urethral meatus narrowing and impaired voiding.
Findings:
- Surgical excision of the polyp and circumcision were performed.
- Histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of a fibro-epithelial polyp.
- The patient experienced complete symptom resolution and no recurrence.
Implications:
- This case underscores the need to include fibro-epithelial polyps in the differential diagnosis of penile tumors.
- Early and accurate diagnosis is crucial for appropriate management and patient outcomes.

01:29Penis
The penis serves a dual role in sexual reproduction and urination. It consists of three main regions: the glans penis, the body, and the root, each with distinct functions and unique anatomical features.
Anatomy of the Penis
The glans penis, or the head, is the terminal part of the penis and houses the external urethral orifice, the exit point for urine and semen. Covered by the prepuce, or foreskin, the glans is noted for its sensitivity and plays a key role in sexual pleasure. The body of the...
