Abstract
Introduction: Siliconoma represents an inflammatory tissue response to extravasated silicone. Penile enhancing silicone injections have been described for over 50 years. Most of the publications report complications including negative effects on penile appearance and function which require corrective procedures. Penile circumferential skin and siliconoma excision with skin grafting has been described in multiple case reports and series as an effective and feasible option to remove the silicone and achieve good esthetic results. Methods: We describe a simple and feasible single stage proce-dure removing the siliconoma with adjacent non-viable skin while preserving 50% of healthy penile skin and resurfacing the defect with a split-thickness skin graft to treat a long-term com-plication of penile silicone injection associated with recurrent infections and a chronic skin ulceration. Conclusion: Partial excision of the affected penile skin and sili-conoma with defect resurfacing with a split-thickness skin graft is a feasible with good functional and cosmetic outcomes.
