A rare cause of glans penis masses in childhood: Fibroepithelial polyp

Arzu Sencan, Aydin Sencan, Cuneyt Gunsar, Hasan Cayirli, Nalan NeseJournal of Indian Association of Pediatric Surgeons 2015 20(1):42-44Fibroepithelial polyps of glans penis are very rarely seen in childhood. A 6-month-old male admitted to our institution with a slowly enlarging glans penis mass on the ventral side of the glans penis. The mass was totally excised, and hystopathological diagnosis was a fibroepithelial polyp. All of the reported cases published previously, except one, are of adult age and all of them have been associated with the history of long-term condom catheter use. The presence of the case in childhood; however, suggests that the pathology might be congenital. This is the second pediatric case presented in the English literature.
