ABSTRACTClitoromegaly is an embarrassing condition causing psychological stress, requiring intervention. The goals of clitoroplasty are to achieve normal genital anatomy and to preserve tactile sensation with a satisfactory sexual response. We present a rare case of idiopathic clitoromegaly managed by reduction clitoroplasty, preserving the dorsal neurovascular bundle and extensive network of nerves around the corpora to the glans and the creation of labia minora.

Adrenogenital syndrome, or Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia, is caused by a congenital insufficiency of the enzyme 21-hydroxylase, which is responsible for converting cortisol into cholesterol. Because of virilizing effect of androgens and its over- production, girls develop clitoral hypertrophy or Clitoromegaly. Clitoromegaly is an embarrassing condition, causing psychological stress to young girls and, hence requiring intervention. The goals of clitoroplasty are to achieve normal genital anatomy and to preserve tactile sensation with a satisfactory sexual response. We present a case of Adrenogenital syndrome with Clitoromegaly managed by reduction Clitoroplasty, preserving the dorsal neurovascular bundle and extensive network of nerves around the corpora to the glans and there by preserving the tactile sensation of the clitoris.

A rare case of an epitheloid haemangioendothelioma presenting as an aggressive soft tissue mass in the wrist of an infant is presented. The management of the lesion presents particular difficulties because of its diffuse involvement of surrounding muscles, tendons and neurovascular bundle and the importance of preserving hand function. The epitheloid haemangioendothelioma rarely occurs extravascularly with less than 15 such cases reported in the literature.
