description Male circumcision (MC) seems to be practiced since ancient times by Muslims and Jewish, and it is considered as commandment. Attempts at self-circumcision for any reason are very rare in our country. This article aims to highlight another case of self-circumcision in a 30 year-old male, using a sharp vegetable knife. The reasons behind this act are various and the most common complications, especially in the use of sharp tools, in addition to bleeding or laceration of the penis, are infection, penile curvature, urethral injury or necrosis of the foreskin and penile tissues. To our knowledge, this is the first case report with necrotic foreskin as complication.
