Abstract

Penile cysts are uncommon lesions. In general, they are asymptomatic
and do not interfere with sexual function. Most of them
are present since birth, but usually they are only detectable in
adolescence or adulthood. We report a rare case of a young adult
man with a 5 × 5-cm nodule on the prepuce (ventral face), which
appeared 2 years ago and interfered with his sexual function. The
nodule was excised by circumcision and a histopathologic study
was performed. Histopathologic examination revealed a mucoid
cyst of penis with epidermoid metaplasia. No recurrence was
observed at a 6 months follow-up and the patient’s sexual function
returned to normal.
