Özet
Nonvenereal sclerosing lymphangitis is a rarely seen disease characterized by traumatic obstruction of big lymphatic vessels of penis after a hard sexual intercourse. A 44-year-old male patient applied to our outpatient clinic for a rope-like thickening on his penis. His history revealed a trauma to the penis during sexual intercourse 1-2 days ago. There was no history of any drug use. A firm, skin-colored, cord-like lesion located perpendicular to the long axis of the penis and completely surrounding the dorsal coronary sulcus of the penis was detected on the dermatological examination. The complete blood count, blood chemistry, urinalysis values were normal; rapid plasma reagin, HIV, and hepatitis markers were negative. Penile Doppler ultrasonography was found to be normal. The patient was diagnosed as nonvenereal sclerosing lymphangitis by current clinical and laboratory findings. We think that it is quite important to diagnose this rarely seen disease especially by dermatologists and urologists to avoid misdiagnosis, unnecessary laboratary examinations and treatment.
