Résumé

Background Fasciitis ossificans is a rare subtype of nodular fasciitis, a benign soft tissue tumor with reactive characteristics.

Due to its rapid growth, it is often misdiagnosed as a malignant tumor.

While fasciitis ossificans commonly originates from the subcutaneous tissue and can appear throughout the body, it may also arise from extraordinary sites.

Case presentation We report the first-ever documented case of fasciitis ossificans arising from the penis in a male patient who presented with a tumor on the glans penis.

The tumor was surgically resected due to suspicion of penile cancer.

Initial histopathological analysis led to a misdiagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma.

However, pathological consultation ultimately confirmed the diagnosis of fasciitis ossificans of the penis originating from the glans penis by demonstrating ossification.

Conclusion This case underscores the importance of considering fasciitis ossificans in the differential diagnosis of soft tissue tumors, even in unusual locations such as penile soft tissue.
