• Na SS
• Choi NG

Abstract

Occasionally, in obese infants or boys, the penis appears extremely short or absent because of fat deposits in the prepubic area. However, further inspection shows the penis to be of adequate length. A concealed penis is a congenital abnormality wherein the skin is unattached to the penile shaft. The penis itself is normally formed. The testes and scrotum are normally developed also. Its treatment is effected by weight reduction and surgery. Surgery is directed to fix the skin in the pubic area to the base of the penis. herein we report twelve cases of concealed penis with the literature review.
