description Implantation of penile nodules under the foreskin aims at improving male and female sexual pleasures during intercourse. This case discusses the characteristics of the South American penile adornment ‘Bouglou’ as well as the risk factors for penile cancer in this region of Amazonia. This is a case report of a 48-year-old man whose penis presented a destructive gland/penile shaft lesion and three adornments in the penile shaft, reported as ‘Bouglou’. The diagnosis of penile cancer was confirmed after total penectomy. This study is the first that suggests a possible association between squamous cell carcinoma and these penile adornments.
