Fibrous Pseudotumor of the Penis – An Unusual Finding During Repair of Fractured Penis()

Fibrous pseudotumors of the testis and penis are a rare phenomenon, forming a spectrum of heterogeneous lesions. To the best of our knowledge, there has been only 1 previous report arising from the penis. We present a case of fibrous pseudotumor of the penis, incidentally found during the surgical r...

description Fibrous pseudotumors of the testis and penis are a rare phenomenon, forming a spectrum of heterogeneous lesions. To the best of our knowledge, there has been only 1 previous report arising from the penis. We present a case of fibrous pseudotumor of the penis, incidentally found during the surgical repair of a fractured penis. These benign lesions have been described in the literature and are most commonly referred to as pseudotumors. They should be distinguished from potentially malignant lesions, including fibrosarcomas, squamous cell carcinoma, and polypoid urothelial carcinoma. Being aware of this pathology is important to prevent unnecessary radical surgery.
