ABSTRACT
Penile paraffinoma is a rare condition after penile injection of liquid paraffin or other mineral oils, with well-documented debilitating complications. Nevertheless, such injections are still performed by people of Eastern European and Asian descent for cosmetic penile augmentation. We report a case of penile paraffinoma in an otherwise healthy, 30-year-old male, with obstructive lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) as the sole complaint at presentation in the emergency department and a conservative approach. This case report describes an unusual presentation of penile paraffinoma in a young man and aims to raise public and physician awareness regarding disease manifestation to prevent high morbidity from delayed diagnosis and treatment.
