Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Urology

Background:

  • Titanium is increasingly used in medical applications.
  • Balanitis is inflammation of the glans penis.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with phimosis, a narrowing of the foreskin.
  • Histological examination revealed titanium surrounded by a granulomatous inflammatory reaction.

Findings:

  • This case represents the second documented instance of titanium balanitis globally.
  • The inflammation and phimosis were associated with topical titanium exposure.

Implications:

  • Topical titanium preparations pose a risk of causing iatrogenic phimosis.
  • Healthcare providers should be aware of this potential complication when prescribing titanium-based treatments.
