Abstract
PURPOSE: We studied the role of sclerotherapy in the management of glans penis hemangiomas. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Four patients with hemangiomas of the glans penis were treated on an outpatient basis with intralesional injections of 30% hypertonic saline. RESULTS: In all 4 patients the lesions regressed and all were satisfied with the outcome. CONCLUSIONS: Intralesional sclerotherapy is a cost-effective modality for the treatment of glans penis hemangiomas, especially in developing countries and at peripheral hospitals where expensive laser equipment may not be available.
