Abstract
Three cases of so-called non-venereal sclerosing lymphangitis of the penis were reported with some considerations on its nomenclature and relationship to Mondor's disease. They had no history of trauma of the genital region and of venereal disease. On enquiry of their sexual habits there was no abnormality. Underneath the skin a firm cartilage-like cord encircled the coronal sulcus. The worm-like lesion could be seen easily on stretching the penile shaft. The lesion itself was not tender and was not fixed to the skin or to the deeper tissue. No other cutaneous or mucosal lesion was observed. The biopsied specimens showed marked thickening of the vessel and the thrombus-like structure in the process of organization. The cellular in-filtrates in and around the vessel were sparse. These affected vessels were considered lymphatics light-and-electronmicroscopically.
