Abstract

Introduction: This paper presents a rare event of genital self-mutilation and few cases are reported in the literature. Case description: We report on a patient who performed partial self-penectomy 18 months after bilateral testicular amputation, as a form of self-mutilation. Conclusions: The main hypotheses to explain the recurrence of self-mutilation would be hypogonadism.
