title: [Penile torsion. Case report].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To report the clinical characteristics and therapeutic options of penile torsion.
  
  
  METHODS
  We report the case of a male with asymptomatic penile torsion as an incidental finding after consultation for other reasons.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The patient was treated conservatively because it was not an important aesthetic trouble and it was asymptomatic.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Penile torsion is rare. Surgical treatment is reserved for very important degrees of torsion, symptomatic patients or, when patient feels discomfort with the aesthetic alteration.
