ABSTRACT

Since the flaccid penis is a very mobile organ, blunt trauma, apart from causing the development of large subcutaneous hematomas, very rarely causes serious damage.1 Penile injuries can be caused by several factors. Direct kicks can cause tissue damage even to the flaccid penis, urethra, and corpora cavernosa. Bite injuries are commonly inflicted by animals,2,3 but they can also be from human origin. Other reasons for penile injuries are stab and gunshot wounds and burns, which are extremely rare. Solitary burns to the external genitalia are also very rare.1 They usually accompany burns in the lower abdominal area.4
