Abstract
Epidermoid cysts (EC), is one of the common benign tumours presenting anywhere in the body. However penile EC is rare, even rarer in pediatric age group. There are usually congenital. EC result from the proliferation of epidermal cells within a circumscribed space of the dermis.
A five-year-old boy presented with an asymptomatic, elastic swelling on the ventral surface of the penis near the corona for three years. The swelling was flesh-colored, subcutaneous, and freely movable within the dermis. He had no history of inflammation or any urinary symptoms. Rest of the genitals were normal. Excision of the cyst was performed under general anesthesia. The histopathology reported the swelling as an EC. No recurrence has been noted in the three year since excision.
Penile EC can occur after minor surgical procedure like circumcision. The condition needs to be treated with total surgical excision in case it occurs.
