Intralesional sclerotherapy in the management of hemangiomas of the glans penis.

PURPOSE: We studied the role of sclerotherapy in the management of glans penis hemangiomas.

MATERIALS AND

METHODS

Four patients with hemangiomas of the glans penis were treated on an outpatient basis with intralesional injections of 30% hypertonic saline.

RESULTS

In all 4 patients the lesions regressed and all were satisfied with the outcome.

CONCLUSIONS

Intralesional sclerotherapy is a cost-effective modality for the treatment of glans penis hemangiomas, especially in developing countries and at peripheral hospitals where expensive laser equipment may not be available.
