Popis: A 25-year old man, who had an inferiority of having a small penis and normal potency, underwent intracavernous implantation of hand-made silicone rods by a cosmetic surgeon in order to enlarge his penis. He had pyrexia and swelling of the penis 2 days after the implantation, and penile cavernitis developed. The penile symptoms improved by drainage and strict chemotherapy, and then the silicone rods were removed from his penis. Histopathological findings of the corpus cavernosum showed marked inflammatory and granulomatous changes. The patient lost his potency due to poor blood flow into the cavernous.
