Abstract EN
We treated a 65-year-old Japanese man with a giant penile lymphedema due to chronic penile strangulation with a rubber band.
He was referred to our hospital with progressive penile swelling that had developed over a period of 2 years from chronic use of a rubber band placed around the penile base for prevention of urinary incontinence.
Under a diagnosis of giant penile lymphedema, we performed resection of abnormal penile skin weighing 4.8 kg, followed by a penile plasty procedure.
To the best of our knowledge, this is only the seventh report of such a case worldwide, with the present giant penile lymphedema the most reported.
