Penile augmentation with injection of paraffin is a common
practice in South East Asia.
Penile paraffinoma occurring due to injection of liquid
paraffin to enhance the size of the penis is an uncommon
condition. Normally, this procedure is carried out by nonmedical
personnel, without the prior knowledge or
consultation of any urologist. The occurrence of such a
deforming procedure is not commonly known to the medical
profession in Malaysia.
