The uniqueness of this case is in its rarity and divergent presentation. Here, we report a case of 61 years old diabetic male who presented with painless swelling on the glans penis for the past 6 months along with bleeding from the mass and difficulty to pass urine for 1 month. Examination revealed solid, mass arising from the tip of glans with non-retractile, indurated prepuce. No clinically palpable lymphadenopathy was present. Dorsal slit was performed and mass excised. Histopathology examination revealed cavernous hemangioma. Primary cavernous hemangioma of glans penis is very rare but challenging for urologists to diagnose and manage such cases.

Background: Cavernous hemangioma of the glans penis is a relatively rare disease in clinical practice, caused by congenital dysplasia. Case presentation: A 20-year-old male, found a snake shaped dark purple mass on the glans penis for more than 10 years. During the operation, the tumor was seen to be about 0.5 cm away from the outer urethra. The tumor was broken longitudinally, and the boundary between the tumor and the corpus cavernosum was not clear, and the tumor was bluntly separated until it was completely removed. Postoperative pathological examination revealed a cavernous hemangioma. The patient was discharged without complications such as infection or wound dehiscence. Conclusion: With the increase of sexual demand and to avoid rupture and bleeding of glans penis cavernous hemangioma are recommend early intervention and treatment. Keywords: glans; cavernous hemangioma; treatment methods.

Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTMs) are ubiquitous and are being increasingly reported as human opportunistic infection. Cutaneous infection caused by mixed NTM is extremely rare. We encountered the case of a 46-year-old female, who presented with multiple discharging sinuses over the lower anterior abdominal wall (over a previous appendectomy scar) for the past 2 years. Microscopy and culture of the pus discharge were done to isolate and identify the etiological agent. Finally, GenoType Mycobacterium CM/AS assay proved it to be a mixed infection caused byMycobacterium szulgaiandM. intermedium. The patient was advised a combination of rifampicin 600 mg once daily, ethambutol 600 mg once daily, and clarithromycin 500 mg twice daily to be taken along with periodic follow-up based upon clinical response as well as microbiological response. We emphasize that infections by NTM must be considered in the etiology of nonhealing wounds or sinuses, especially at postsurgical sites.
