[A case of complete self-mutilation of penis].
2002
Self-mutilation of the penis is extremely rare. A 69-year-old man was admitted after having amputated his own penis completely from its root. He had no history of psychiatric illness, but his physical condition on admission was abnormal. We performed urethrocutaneostomy, rather than replantation of the penis, because of the danger that he would reinjure himself. The patient was treated by a psychiatrist under a diagnosis of alcoholic dementia. To our knowledge, this is the 24th case of self-mutilation of the penis reported in the Japanese literature.
