A RARE CASE REPORT OF HEMANGIOMA OVER THE GLANS PENIS WITH PHIMOSIS.

Dr Anil Kumar M S, Dr Meera Goutham

Abstract :

In literature, 20 cases of benign angiomatous lesions on the glans penis have been reported. Hemangioma on glans penis usually presents as a young male with asymptomatic slowly progressing growth which fades on pressure. A 70 year old male presented with complaints of intermittent bleeding from the periurethral region since 5 months and phimosis since childhood. A preliminary diagnosis of chronic balanoposthitis was made, further treatment was planned to rule out Carcinoma of the penis and was taken up for circumcision and excision biopsy of the nodular growth. Intraoperatively, a solitary growth was seen on the glanspenis , red–purple in color and highly vascular.Histopathological report showed features suggestive of a vascular lesion– Hemangioma. The atypical presentation of the case merits study and formulation of a definitive protocol to diagnose and treat hemangiomas over glans penis. This could also be the first case of penile hemangioma reported with phimosis.
