description KEY CLINICAL MESSAGE: Provide comprehensive knowledge to healthcare practitioners regarding the benign characteristics of smegma pearls, aiming to alleviate anxiety and minimize unwarranted medical interventions. ABSTRACT: Penile nodules in infant are distressing to the mother and also cause diagnostic dilemmas to primary care physician. Most of the penile nodules are benign and the only treatment is reassurance to the mother. Smegma pearl occurs due to accumulation of the desquamated epithelial cells under the penile foreskin and are visualized as yellowish white lumps. We present a similar case who presented to the primary health centre at rural Nepal.
