Intralesional sclerotherapy in the management of hemangiomas of the glans penis.
OBJECTIVE
We studied the role of sclerotherapy in the management of glans penis hemangiomas.


METHODS
Four patients with hemangiomas of the glans penis were treated on an outpatient basis with intralesional injections of 30% hypertonic saline.


RESULTS
In all 4 patients the lesions regressed and all were satisfied with the outcome.


CONCLUSIONS
Intralesional sclerotherapy is a cost-effective modality for the treatment of glans penis hemangiomas, especially in developing countries and at peripheral hospitals where expensive laser equipment may not be available.
