Two-stage reconstructive plastic surgery for giant oleogranuloma of the external genitalia in a kidney recipient

Abstract

The paper presents the clinical case of successful treatment of giant oleogranuloma of the external genitalia in a kidney recipient. The relevance of the problem, which has not diminished over time due to identification of new cases, is presented. Stages involving pathological tissue removal and reconstructive plastic surgical intervention to restore the anatomical form and functionality of the penis are described and illustrated in detail. The authors conclude that reconstructive plastic intervention for penile oleogranuloma can be effectively performed in a patient with end-stage chronic renal disease treated via renal transplant and who is receiving triple immunosuppressive therapy.
