What is Paraffinoma?
Paraffinoma refers to the formation of a mass in the penis due to the injection of non-medical substances like silicone, mineral oils, or other fillers. These injections often lead to severe complications, including chronic inflammation, pain, infections, and in some cases, an increased risk of cancer. Treatment typically involves surgical removal of the affected tissue, followed by reconstructive procedures to restore both function and appearance.
Treatment Options
The primary treatment for paraffinoma is surgical excision. Depending on the extent of the condition, treatments can range from a simple circumcision (if limited to the foreskin) to more extensive procedures involving skin grafts or scrotal flaps for larger areas. In complex cases, an interdisciplinary approach with urologists and plastic surgeons is recommended to ensure optimal results.
