Augmentation of the body contour by localized injection of hard and soft paraffin rose to a zenith of popularity in the early 1900s, whereafter the severe destructive consequences of such injections became widely recognized. However in Korea, these injections are still performed much by nonmedical person. Paraffin or other mineral oil injection into body is no more a useful method to change body contour. We reviewed 26 cases of sclerosing lipogranuloma of penis with complications in recent 13 years after mean 18.5 months from previous injection of paraffin or vaseline. We conclude that the public should be informed of detrimental effects of paraffin injections and that the best treatment of penile paraffinoma is complete excision and appropriate penoplasty.
20世纪初，通过局部注射硬石蜡和软石蜡来增大身体轮廓的方法达到了流行的顶峰，此后这种注射的严重破坏性后果得到了广泛认可。然而在韩国，这些注射仍多由非医务人员进行。向体内注射石蜡或其他矿物油已不再是改变身体轮廓的有效方法。我们回顾了26例阴茎硬化性脂肪肉芽肿病例，这些病例是在平均18.5个月前注射石蜡或凡士林后出现并发症的，时间跨度为最近13年。我们得出结论，应告知公众石蜡注射的有害影响，阴茎石蜡瘤的最佳治疗方法是彻底切除并进行适当的阴茎成形术。
