ResumoABSTRACT A 40‐year‐old Caucasian man, originating from Ukraine, but living for the last year and a half in Portugal, presented to our department with a one year history of an irregular penile mass and phimosis. He reluctantly admitted that 8 years previously he had multiple mineral oil injections in the penis , for the purpose of penile enlargement. A diagnosis of penile paraffinoma was made and surgical excision was performed at the urology department. Paraffinoma results from mineral‐oil injections : such practice is very rare in the western world nowadays, however, it still is performed in many Eastern European Countries.
