Penile cysts are uncommon lesions. In general, they are asymptomaticand do not interfere with sexual function. Most of themare present since birth, but usually they are only detectable inadolescence or adulthood. We report a rare case of a young adultman with a 5 × 5-cm nodule on the prepuce (ventral face), whichappeared 2 years ago and interfered with his sexual function. Thenodule was excised by circumcision and a histopathologic studywas performed. Histopathologic examination revealed a mucoidcyst of penis with epidermoid metaplasia. No recurrence wasobserved at a 6 months follow-up and the patient’s sexual functionreturned to normal.
