Granulomas are collections of histiocytes that develop as an inflammatory response to bacterial and fungal infections, as well as foreign substances. We discuss here the case of a 49-year-old male who presented with a penile and scrotal mass with granulomatous inflammation, after application of a topical cream for enhancement of erectile function. While granuloma formation can often be seen with penile injections, this case presents the rare development of a foreign body granuloma after topical cream application on the penis and scrotum.
肉芽肿是组织细胞的聚集物，是对细菌、真菌感染以及外来物质产生的炎症反应。我们在此讨论一例49岁男性病例，该患者在使用一种用于增强勃起功能的外用乳膏后，出现阴茎和阴囊肿物伴肉芽肿性炎症。虽然阴茎注射时常可见肉芽肿形成，但此病例呈现了在阴茎和阴囊上外用乳膏后罕见的异物肉芽肿形成。
