Abstract
A man presented with a concealed penis which devel-
oped after circumcision. In addition to anatomic varia-
tions in penile skin attachment and obesity, circumcision
is an iatrogenic cause in the etiology of a concealed
penis. Although it is a frequent and simple operation, it
may lead to uncommon complications due to a lack of
experience and poor technique.
