J Urol. 1998 Feb;159(2):415-7. doi: 10.1016/s0022-5347(01)63936-3.

Abstract

Purpose: We studied the role of sclerotherapy in the management of glans penis hemangiomas.

Materials and methods: Four patients with hemangiomas of the glans penis were treated on an outpatient basis with intralesional injections of 30% hypertonic saline.

Results: In all 4 patients the lesions regressed and all were satisfied with the outcome.

Conclusions: Intralesional sclerotherapy is a cost-effective modality for the treatment of glans penis hemangiomas, especially in developing countries and at peripheral hospitals where expensive laser equipment may not be available.
