[Prepuce simulating an igloo].
OBJECTIVE
To report what could be the first reference of a prepucial congenital abnormality which has been termed an "igloo-like prepuce". The presence of a prepuce completely covering the glans and presenting the outer opening on the ventral side, resembles the ice constructions used as temporary dwelling by certain groups of eskimos.


METHODS
Two cases with this unusual abnormality seen in two young brothers are described.


CONCLUSIONS
The "igloo-like prepuce" is a prepucial congenial abnormality with rare incidence which carries no other genitourinary condition but which translates in a merely aesthetic alteration.
