Abstract EN
To our knowledge penile lymphoedema secondary to Proteus syndrome has not previously been reported.
Hence we report a case of a 16-year-old male who was referred with features of right hemi-hypertrophy and severe lymphoedema affecting his scrotum and penis.
He had previously undergone scrotal reduction surgery at the age of 13, but had since developed worsening penile oedema.
His main concern was that of cosmetic appearance prior to sexual debut, and he also complained of erectile dysfunction.
An MRI confirmed gross oedema of the penile skin, but normal underlying cavernosal structure, and no other anatomical abnormality.
Under general anaesthesia, the entire diseased penile skin was excised.
Two full thickness skin grafts were harvested from the axillae, and grafted onto the dorsal and ventral penile shaft respectively.
A compressive dressing and urinary catheter was applied for 7 days.
Follow-up at 4 months confirmed complete graft take with minimal scarring, and the patient was very satisfied with the cosmetic outcome.
He had also noticed a recovery in erectile activity, and feels psychologically and physically more prepared for sexual relations.
