| description | Unlike female genital mutilation, the alteration of male genitals has not received much attention. Circumcision is the most common and oldest surgical procedure being performed. When performed by surgeons or well-trained personal the procedure is safe, but most of the times it is being performed by untrained people with no or little medical background.

Here, we present a case of total penile skin loss which had resulted from penile mutilation in the name of ritual circumcision. |
