Preputial Abscess Secondary to
2013
We present the case of a 36-years-old male without any relevant medical history admitted to our emergency room due to painful penile swelling with 48 hours of evolution after safe sex and a temperature. Blood analysis showed an elevation in the levels of acute phase reactants. Ultrasound was performed and showed a well-defined, hypo echoic and heterogeneous solid mass inside the foreskin. An intravenous antibiotic therapy was conducted with amoxicillin and clavulanic acid. Postectomy was performed obtaining a solid material from the foreskin. The microbiological analysis of the drained material was positive for group A beta hemolytic streptococcus sensible to penicillin. The patient was discharged 24 hours after surgery in good general condition and with a normalization of his analytic parameters. One month after the intervention, there were no surgical complications and the cosmetic result was also good.
