Objective:
To report what could be the first reference of a prepucial congenital abnormality which has been termed an "igloo-like prepuce". The presence of a prepuce completely covering the glans and presenting the outer opening on the ventral side, resembles the ice constructions used as temporary dwelling by certain groups of eskimos.
Methods:
Two cases with this unusual abnormality seen in two young brothers are described.
Results And Conclusions:
The "igloo-like prepuce" is a prepucial congenial abnormality with rare incidence which carries no other genitourinary condition but which translates in a merely aesthetic alteration.
