description BACKGROUND: Micropenis usually has a series of causative factors that must be identified to determine the treatment modality. CASE PRESENTATION: A 24-years-old Indonesian male complained of a small penis since infancy. The patient has a short penis size (3 cm), no pubic hair, small scrotum, both testes cannot hide palpable, and tanner scale 2. The hormonal examination includes testosterone hormone of 14.94 ng/dL, luteinizing hormone of 14.89 mUI/mL, and follicle-stimulating hormone of 67.51 mUI/mL. Ultrasound showed no testicular location and only a prostate-like appearance of a size of 0.6 × 2.07 cm on the abdomen. The patient will receive therapy but was constrained by the COVID-19 pandemic. DISCUSSION: diagnosis of micropenis and gonadotropin hormone disorders must be detected early and receive treatment immediately for better results. CONCLUSION: Micropenis is a medical diagnosis that depends on proper examination and management, and early diagnosis is essential to improve prognosis.
