Sclerosing lipogranuloma of the penis. A case report.
Sclerosing lipogranuloma of the male genitalia is a rather uncommon condition presenting with subcutaneous masses of the penis and the scrotum. The masses are composed of granulomatous tissue formed around an either exogenous or endogenous lipomatous substance. In case of incomplete resection the masses show a rapid recurrence, thus mimicking a neoplastic lesion. On the basis of a case report a review of this entity in the literature is presented here.
