Penile reconstruction for a case of genital lymphoedema secondary to proteus syndrome.
[proteus syndrome]
To
our
knowledge
penile
lymphoedema
secondary
to
Proteus
syndrome
has
not
previously
been
reported
.
Hence
we
report
a
case
of
a
16
-
year
-old
male
who
was
referred
with
features
of
right
hemi-
hypertrophy
and
severe
lymphoedema
affecting
his
scrotum
and
penis
.
He
had
previously
undergone
scrotal
reduction
surgery
at
the
age
of
13
,
but
had
since
developed
worsening
penile
oedema
.
His
main
concern
was
that
of
cosmetic
appearance
prior
to
sexual
debut
,
and
he
also
complained
of
erectile
dysfunction
.
An
MRI
confirmed
gross
oedema
of
the
penile
skin
,
but
normal
underlying
cavernosal
structure
,
and
no
other
anatomical
abnormality
.
Under
general
anaesthesia
,
the
entire
diseased
penile
skin
was
excised
.
Two
full
thickness
skin
grafts
were
harvested
from
the
axillae
,
and
grafted
onto
the
dorsal
and
ventral
penile
shaft
respectively
.
A
compressive
dressing
and
urinary
catheter
was
applied
for
7
days
.
Follow-up
at
4
months
confirmed
complete
graft
take
with
minimal
scarring
,
and
the
patient
was
very
satisfied
with
the
cosmetic
outcome
.
He
had
also
noticed
a
recovery
in
erectile
activity
,
and
feels
psychologically
and
physically
more
prepared
for
sexual
relations
.
