Abstract

A 6 1/2-year-old boy presented with a painless, white pearly nodule on the glans penis. Wedge excision was performed and pathological examination revealed a benign-appearing, well demarcated nodule confined to the corpus spongiosum. Histological examination revealed a peculiar multinodular myofibroblastic proliferation centered around the vessels within the penis. He has done well for 9 months without evidence of recurrence. To our knowledge this is a previously undescribed lesion arising from the male genitalia.
