This study describes the rare "igloo-like prepuce," a congenital penile abnormality where the foreskin covers the glans with an opening on the ventral side. This condition is purely cosmetic and does not involve other genitourinary issues.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Medical Genetics

Background:

  • Congenital penile anomalies require accurate classification and understanding.
  • The prepuce's development and potential abnormalities are crucial in pediatric urology.
  • Differentiating cosmetic variations from clinically significant conditions is essential.

Observation:

  • A novel congenital prepuce anomaly, termed "igloo-like prepuce," is presented.
  • This condition features a foreskin completely covering the glans with a ventral opening, resembling an igloo.
  • Two affected siblings were identified, suggesting a potential genetic component.

Findings:

  • The "igloo-like prepuce" is a rare congenital abnormality.
  • It presents as a unique anatomical variation of the foreskin.

  • No associated genitourinary abnormalities were detected in the described cases.

    • Implications:

    • This finding expands the spectrum of known penile congenital abnormalities.
    • The condition appears to be a benign, isolated finding with no functional impact.
    • Further research may clarify the etiology and long-term implications of this anomaly.
