Abstract

A 27-year-old man presented to our hospital complaining of multiple mild injuries sustained in an attack of violence at the workplace. He had received chemical burns to the penis induced by hydrochloric acid and had developed severe phimosis. He complained of pain on erection and ballooning during urination. The foreskin was partially resected with foreskin grafting for the stricture. The postoperative outcome was favorable and his symptoms were relieved.
