Overview
The aim of this communication is to describe severe complications caused by the local application of inorganic material into the subcutaneous penile tissue. Three patients (mean age 31 years) with local complications after the injection of boric ointment (acidum boricum) into the subcutaneous tissue of the penis are described. According to our experience, this condition is limited to a group of socially weak patients who underwent this intervention in order to increase the volume of their penis. The injection of this inorganic material leads to severe inflammatory changes at the site of application. After several months (years) these deposits disintegrated into ulcerative lesions, which would not heal. Surgical treatment is always recommended in these cases – excision of the ulcerative lesion, alternative – defect coverage with split-thickness skin graft.
KEY WORDS:
Boric ointment, tissue disintegration, chronic local inflammation, ulcerative lessions, pearling, imprisonment, prison behaviour, diameter of penis.
