Sclerosing lipogranuloma of the penis: reconstruction using double reverse V-Y-plast
Abstract
Sclerosing lipogranuloma is a chronic granulomatous reaction in response to the injection of non-medical substances such as paraffin, silicone, or mineral oil into the skin. This report describes one case of a large defect on the penis following sclerosing lipogranuloma excision surgery that was successfully closed by a double reverse V- Y-plasty reconstruction. The surgery aimed to remove all affected tissue as soon as possible, preventing the persistent granulomatous process that leads to necrosis and severe penile deformity. The double reverse V- Y-plasty is a simple, single-stage procedure useful to reconstruct of a large defect on the penis.
