Overview
The authors present 3 cases of self-mutilation through the injection of foreign material under penile skin with the aim of increasing the diameter of the penis. Self-injection of foreign material under the skin of the penis is usually followed by complications arising from a tissue inflammatory reaction or a granulomatous reaction to foreign bodies/material. These complications often lead to immediate or delayed surgical intervention.
Key words:
self-mutilation, paraffin, paraffinoma.
