Lipogranuloma of the male genitalia. 1981

L Armstrong, and A H Hackett

A case of lipogranuloma of the external genitalia is presented. The history and histological features suggest that the exogenous lipid was introduced by the topical application of a baby oil used after minor trauma to the penis. Initial treatment by steroids and immunosuppressive agents was followed by complete excision of the granuloma.

D007166 Immunosuppressive Agents Agents that suppress immune function by one of several mechanisms of action. Classical cytotoxic immunosuppressants act by inhibiting DNA synthesis. Others may act through activation of T-CELLS or by inhibiting the activation of HELPER CELLS. While immunosuppression has been brought about in the past primarily to prevent rejection of transplanted organs, new applications involving mediation of the effects of INTERLEUKINS and other CYTOKINES are emerging.
