title: Titanium balanitis with phimosis.
abstract: We report the 2nd case of titanium balanitis reported in the world literature. Clinically the patient presented with phimosis: histologically the titanium was surrounded by a mixed granulomatous inflammatory reaction. Topical titanium preparations may lead to phimosis and therefore we thought it important to bring this potential iatrogenic complication to further notice.
