description Penile granulomas has been rarely reported in the setting of BCG instillations. We present a 70 year-old male with multiple penile granulomas during BCG instillations due a high-grade urothelial bladder cancer. Histopathological study revealed granulomatous structures with central necrosis as seen after BCG therapy. Local treatment with cryotherapy has been shown to be effective. This case emphasizes the importance to suspect this adverse effect in patients under BCG treatment.
