title: Penile granulomatosis presenting as pseudoangioedema.
abstract: Many conditions may present as angioedema. We report a case of a 46 year-old man presenting with intermittent episodes of penile swelling. Following a series of investigations, he was diagnosed with genital granulomatosis. Ano-genital granulomatosis is a rare chronic inflammatory condition and that can present as diffuse penile, scrotal, vulvar or ano-perineal swelling with non-caseating non-necrotising granulomas on histology.
