Penile self-injections are performed with the purpose of increasing the size of the penis. Commonly, mineral oils or mineral oil-like substances are used for this purpose. However, there are very few publications describing on the complications from vegetable oil injections especially olive oil. Following the injection, the resulting deformity of the male genitalia is described as penile paraffinomas lipogranuloma of the penis. We would like to report a case of penis augmentation by a 50-year-old gentleman using olive oil injections that caused a massive, severely deformed of the penis and scrotum. Surgical excision and reconstruction was done. The patient was discharged after five days postoperatively, with full graft take. Injecting any oily substances into the human body is hazardous. The differential diagnosis of nodules following injections should be kept in mind and in doubtful cases, biopsy should be done. Regular follow-up is essential to prevent the further inflammatory event. Safe and legal procedures should be implemented for penile enlargement so as to avoid self-injections and in the prevention of such debilitating problems. |
