Abstract:
A chemical burn is not so common in the urological field. In addition, a chemical burn of the penis is quite rare. We experienced a case of chemical burn of the penis caused by resin for making fiber-glass reinforced plastics (FRP). He was a 41-year-old man and was referred to our hospital complaining of genital pain. He had sustained an injury to his penis induced by FRP at his workplace and had developed phimosis by the severe edematous foreskin. He underwent dorsal incision immediately and his postoperative course was favorable.
