Based on literature data and personal clinical experience with twenty patients presenting sex organ oleogranuloma, summed up inferences are reached about the choice of a rational therapeutic approach. The conservative treatment in both acute and chronic stage of the disease proves ineffective. Operative treatment is the basic one, and is aimed at radical removal of the granulation tissue and injected lipid material deposits. The resulting skin defect may be covered using diverse procedures, briefly outlined in the paper.

Penile augmentation by injection of petroleum jelly is still performed by nonmedical practitioners abroad and causes foreign body reactions with resultant scarring, deformity, and ulceration. Surgical treatment involves removal of the foreign material and granuloma, followed by scrotal flaps, inguinal flaps, free flaps, or split-thickness skin grafts. We present the use of native penile skin for coverage after resection of oleogranuloma in the first case of which we are aware.

The authors have operated 24 patients to repair total and subtotal defects of penile integuments due to oleogranuloma. They have performed a total of 13 transplantations of axial island cellolocutaneous inguinal flaps basing on the external pudendal, superficial epigastric or superficial circumflex iliac arteries; 3 transplantations of free axial inguinal grafts; 2 transplantations of free axial grafts from the forearm on the radial artery. Microvascular anastomoses with the recipient zone vessels were formed.
