Abstract
Abstract
Penile paraffinoma is a rare cause of penile lump(s) or mass that occurs after self- injecting liquid paraffin or
similar substances like vaseline, mineral oils, illicitly performed to augment penis growth. This practice is commonly
seen in many parts of central and south east Europe and some parts of Asia like Korea. Although paraffin is an inert
substance for human body tissue, it can often cause complications like nodules, lumps, ulcers, pain, deformity etc.
when injected into human body. The purpose of this study is to present a case of anadverse consequence of a failed
penile augmentation technique that required surgical reconstruction.
