Klinefelter syndrome is characterised by advancing testicular function deterioration causing aspermatogenesis and androgen deficiency. Klinefelter patients characteristically have complete male sex differentiation, and genital anomalies are infrequently associated. Penoscrotal malformations at birth are very rare in this syndrome. Nonetheless, it is important to know the association, as one of...

Palisaded encapsulated neuroma is a rare, benign cutaneous tumor. It most commonly presents as a solitary, flesh-colored, dome-shaped nodule affecting the face. However, albeit rarely, palisaded encapsulated neuroma may also appear on the trunk, genitals, or extremities. We describe the clinical and pathologic findings of a male patient who presented with a palisaded encapsulated neuroma on his...

Pioneering mapping studies of the human cortex have established the notion of somatotopy in sensory representation, which transpired into Penfield and Rasmussen's famous sensory homunculus diagram. However, regarding the primary cortical representation of the genitals, classical and modern findings appear to be at odds with the principle of somatotopy, often assigning it to the cortex on the me...

Those rumors are true! In 2006, the Food and Drug Administration [2] (FDA) approved the first vaccine (Gardasil) that protects against certain strains of human papillomavirus (HPV). Over 100 strands of HPV have been identified, and at least 40 strands can affect the genitals. Two strains, HPV-6 and HPV-11, are responsible for approximately 90 percent of genital warts. Two other strains, HPV-16 ...

Genital gender affirming surgery (GAS) involves reconstruction of the genitals to match a patient's identified sex. The use of hair-bearing flaps in this procedure may result in postoperative intra-vaginal and intra-urethral hair growth and associated complications, including lower satisfaction with genital GAS. Despite the significant increase in genital GAS within the past 50 years, there is ...
