Penile nodules secondary to LGV have scarcely been described, and there are no histopathological or ultrasound images published.4,5 The low CD4 T-cell count of our patient might have played a role in the presentation of this case. Lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV) is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by I Chlamydia trachomatis i (CT) serovars L. Nowadays, proctitis is the main manifestation among men who have sex with men (MSM) in Western countries.1 The initial stage of the classical form presents as genital papule/ulcer, and the second stage includes enlarged inguinal lymphadenopathy.2,3 A MSM in his 30s was consulted because of oedema on the penis, which had appeared in the previous 72 h. In conclusion, our case broadens the spectrum of causes of penile oedema and nodules that dermatologists, urologists and STI physicians should bear in mind, especially among the MSM population.
