Abstract
Objective and importance: Physicians are likely to encounter patients with penis disorders and can be caught off guard by these uncommon pathologies, especially because they occur in a sensitive anatomical location.
Clinical presentation: Here, we report the case of a patient presenting with benign transient lymphangiectasis of the penis (BTLP), including its differential diagnosis and treatment. Conclusion headings: BTLP is not an uncommon pathology and diagnosis is based only on medical history and clinical examination. The differentiation between Mondor's disease and BTLP is not necessary for treatment.
期刊介绍:
Acta Clinica Belgica: International Journal of Clinical and Laboratory Medicine primarily publishes papers on clinical medicine, clinical chemistry, pathology and molecular biology, provided they describe results which contribute to our understanding of clinical problems or describe new methods applicable to clinical investigation. Readership includes physicians, pathologists, pharmacists and physicians working in non-academic and academic hospitals, practicing internal medicine and its subspecialties.
