Human bite-induced penile ulceration: report of a case and review of literature

Abstract

Human bite on genitalia is a rare cause of penile ulceration, but is increasingly being reported, probably due to the increasing frequency of orogenital sex. The great morbidity associated with it brings it under the category of high-risk bite wounds, similar to those on hands, feet and joints. We report a case and review the literature on human bite-induced penile ulceration.
