Abstract
Nonvenereal sclerosing lymphangitis of the penis is an infrequent process that affects the distal lymphatics of this organ. It is characterized by the sudden appearance of a translucent and indurated cord on the coronal sulcus. Its etiology is unknown, although it has been related to microtraumas in the area after intense sexual activity. It is a benign, self-resolving process, so it is not necessary to perform a biopsy in early stages, and initial treatment should be conservative. We present a new case of this disease and discuss its etiopathogenic, clinical, diagnostic and therapeutic characteristics.Entities:
