OBJECTIVE: To report 3 cases of pseudoclitoromegaly and to describe the strategies used for differential diagnosis and treatment.
METHODS: Three cases and a literature review were described in this study.
RESULTS: Three cases referred for treatment of clitoromegaly were in fact cases of pseudoclitoromegaly caused by a hamartoma, a neurofibroma, and a hemangioma of the clitoral prepuce. Abnormal virilization was excluded and the tumors were successfully treated by surgical resection and genital esthetic reconstruction.
CONCLUSION: Clitoral abnormalities not associated with virilization syndromes are rare. Isolated abnormalities may affect the clitoris and the clitoral prepuce (pseudoclitoromegaly) and have multiple causes. The most frequent are inclusion cysts secondary to female circumcision, but a multiplicity of tumors, usually benign, may be found. Treatment is surgical, except for most infantile hemangiomas. Before deciding to offer surgical treatment, one should consider the degree of genital deformity and the risks of sensitivity loss and/or clitoral ischemia.
