Özet

Preputium is the extended part of the foreskin of the penis and covers the glans penis. Several congenital anomalies of the preputium such as disproportionate preputial growth, epidermoid cyst, and phimosis have been reported previously. Although lack of the ventral part of preputium is associated with hypospadias, there are no articles about complete agenesis of the preputium. Here, we report a case with the diagnosis of "complete preputial agenesis." This case is the first in our knowledge. © 2007 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
