Zusammenfassung

Selbstinduzierte Paraffinome der männlichen Genitalregion werden nur noch selten beschrieben. Wir berichten über einen russischen Patienten mit subkutanen Knoten an Penis und Präputium. Bei Patienten aus der GUS sollte auch heute noch das artifiziell erzeugte Paraffinom in die Differentialdiagnose subkutaner Knoten der Genitalregion miteinbezogen werden.

Summary

Paraffinomas of the male genitalia are now rare. We report on a Russian patient with subcutaneous nodules of the penis and the prepuce. Injections of exogenous lipids into the male genitalia are still performed in many Eastern European countries. Thus, a paraffinoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of subcutaneous nodules of the male genitalia in patients from these areas.
