Penile Siliconoma: Case Report

Alfonsina Chrissan Pentury*, Ninoy Philip Mailoa

Abstract

Background: Injection of high-viscosity fluids such as paraffin and mineral oil into the genitals is often done by non-professionals in a non-standardized manner. The goal is to enlarge the size of the peis although many serious complications are caused by this practice including complications such as penile siliconoma. Case presentation: A 29-year-old male patient came with complaints of difficulty urinating for 1 week. Complaints were accompanied by swelling and redness around the penis and pain. Previously 3 days ago, the patient tried to enlarge his penis by inserting liquid Vaseline gel with a syringe into the inside of the penis skin until the penis enlarged. On physical examination, a mass was found in the penis region accompanied by edema. The patient was treated conservatively and with excision. Discussion: Early signs of penile siliconoma include swelling, redness, and edema, giving the impression of a larger penis, caused by the body’s reaction to exogenous lipids, with definitive treatment being excision of the mass to prevent organ dysfunction. Conclusion: Penile siliconoma occurs due to infection of high-viscosity fluid in this case silicone with the aim of enlarging the penis has many effects that damage the sexual and cosmetic function of the organ. Conservative therapy can be done to reduce inflammation while definitive therapy is by excision.
