Abstract

We describe an unusual case of balanitis xerotica obliterans (BXO) involving the entire anterior urethra and the scrotum that had presented as a palpable nodular scrotal mass with obstructive voiding symptoms in middle aged man. He was managed by a staged urethroplasty. We report the first such case of BXO involving the scrotum resulting in a nodular mass that has not been described and reported till date.
