RESUMO
Paciente de 22 años de edad con antecedentes de salud. Hacía un mes se le había practicado una hernioplastia inguinal izquierda, y aproximadamente dos semanas después, comenzó a presentar aumento de volumen y dolor en el dorso del pene, tanto al tacto como con la erección. Al examen físico se constató, que la vena dorsal superficial del pene estaba aumentada de volumen, de color rojizo y dolorosa a la palpación. En el ultrasonido doppler-color peniano, se comprobó el engrosamiento de la pared de dicha vena, trombosis de esta, disminución del flujo sanguíneo, así como dolor al contacto del transductor. Se le indicó reposo sexual, tratamiento con antiinflamatorios no esteroideos y corticoides orales, además de iontoforesis local con pomada de heparina sódica. El paciente evolucionó satisfactoriamente, con la desaparición del dolor y la recanalización de la vena dorsal del pene. La aparición de la tromboflebitis de Mondor del pene, con posterioridad a una hernioplastia inguinal, es excepcional. Su sospecha clínica más la confirmación con el ultrasonido doppler-color, son pilares básicos para el diagnóstico de certeza. El tratamiento conservador ofrece óptimos resultados.
A male patient aged 22 years with a history of health problems. One month before, he had undergone left inguinal hernioplasty, but two weeks after surgery, he began suffering pain in the back of the penis together with increased volume, both on touch and at erect state. The physical examination revealed that the superficial dorsal vein of the penis was more swollen, red-colored and painful on palpation. Doppler-color ultrasound of the penis confirmed thickening of the vein wall, thrombosis, lower blood flow and patient's feeling of pain when the transducer touched it. He was prescribed non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs plus oral corticosteroids, cessation of sexual intercourse, in addition to local ionphoresis with sodium heparin ointment. The patient's progression was satisfactory since pain disappeared and the dorsal vein of the penis was re-canalized. Mondor's thrombophlebitis of the penis rarely occurs after inguinal hernioplasty. Clinical suspicion plus Doppler-color US confirmation are basic pillars for a correct diagnosis. The conservative treatment offers optimal outcomes.

Balanoposthitis is defined as the inflammation of the glans penis and its foreskin. In the presence of other underlying medical conditions, this localized infection may spread systemically, serving as a source of fever and bacteremia in neutropenic males. Two rare cases of balanoposthitis caused by a clonally related Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolate co-producing the SPM-1 metallo-beta-lactamase and the novel 16S rRNA methylase RmtD are described. Four multidrug-resistant (MDR) P. aeruginosa isolates were successively recovered from glans/foreskin swabs and urine cultures from two uncircumcised pediatric patients, one with Burkitt's non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and one with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Clinically, preputial colonization by MDR P. aeruginosa evolved to severe balanoposthitis with glans/foreskin lesions as a source of fever. Combination therapy of ciprofloxacin and/or aztreonam (systemic) plus polymyxin B (topical) was effective once reversion of the neutropenic condition was achieved. Although P. aeruginosa remains an unusual cause of balanoposthitis, these cases should alert the physician to the potential pathogenicity of this bacterium. Furthermore, co-production of metallo-beta-lactamase and 16S rRNA methylase has a potential impact on the empirical management of complicated infections caused by P. aeruginosa.
