Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Pathology
  • Dermatology

Background:

  • Genital swelling and inguinal adenopathy can present diagnostic challenges.
  • Idiopathic causes require thorough investigation to rule out various pathologies.

Observation:

  • A 36-year-old man presented with an enlarged, indurated penis and scrotum, along with inguinal adenopathy.
  • Extensive workup included imaging, cultures, and lymph node biopsy.

Findings:

  • Pathologic examination revealed lipoid granulomatous lymphadenitis.
  • The patient admitted to a two-year history of intracavernosal vitamin E injections.

Implications:

  • Intracavernosal vitamin E injections can lead to granulomatous inflammation and lymphadenitis.
  • This case highlights the importance of detailed patient history in diagnosing unusual presentations.
  • Awareness of iatrogenic causes of genital inflammation is crucial for clinicians.
