We report the case of a 16-year-old boy with 'igloo-like prepuce' and hypospadia, successfully treated by asymmetrical antero-posterior postectomy. Histopathological examination consisting of classical microscopy, immuno-histochemistry and electronmicroscopy of the surgical material provided insights into the etiopathogenesis of this rare disease.
