[Penile hematoma secondary to rupture of the superficial dorsal vein of the penis]
Abstract
Objectives: To report a very unfrequent case of penile hematoma secondary to rupture of the superficial dorsal vein of the penis during intercourse.
Methods: 35-year-old patient presenting at the emergency department with a half moon shape hematoma in the dorsal part of the penis, not much painful, developed when initiating intercourse that we believe was a rupture of the superficial dorsal vein of the penis.
Results: In spite of the few cases of rupture of the superficial dorsal vein of the penis described, and after differential diagnosis with other causes of acute penis, conservative attitude with anti-inflammatory drugs and compressive bandage was undertaken.
Conclusions: The rupture of the superficial dorsal vein of the penis is an unfrequent pathology which should be taken into differential diagnosis in a patient consulting with acute penile edema, the attitude is conservative with complete recovery without sequel.
