title: An unusual cause of renal impairment: a latex glove.
abstract: Male genital self-mutilation is thought to be increasing in incidence and is underreported in the literature. We therefore have no clear and uniform treatment programmes. We present a case of genital self-mutilation involving a 16-year-old male. The case highlights an important complication and the multidisciplinary approach to its management.
