Abstract
Objective
To report six patients with penile papules after circumcision to attract the attention of clinicians and patients to the complication associated with circumcision.
Methods
We reported several clinical cases presenting with these papules following circumcision. Cases were reassessed for clinical characteristics, histopathological features, and potential risk factors.
Results
A series of six adult male cases were identified, with papules appearing asymptomatically months to years after circumcision. The papules were larger, exhibited uneven distribution, and lacked the typical arrangement of pearly penile papules, posing a cosmetic concern and a risk of misdiagnosis as genital warts.
Conclusion
This study presents a previously unreported complication of circumcision with significant implications for patient care. Further investigation is warranted to understand the etiology and develop strategies for prevention and management.
