Supernumerary penile frenulum: a rare description in the literature

The frenulum of prepuce of penis is an elastic band of tissue covered by mucosa, located in the ventral surface of the penis, this component is said to be supernumerary when there is more than one anatomical structure that performs the same function. On physical examination, two accessory frenulum were found, bilaterally, adhered to the penile glans. The penile adhesion can result in biological and behavioral problems, requiring the surgical removal of anomalous scaffolds.

Abstract

The frenulum of prepuce of penis is an elastic band of tissue covered by mucosa, located in the ventral surface of the penis, this component is said to be supernumerary when there is more than one anatomical structure that performs the same function. On physical examination, two accessory frenulum were found, bilaterally, adhered to the penile glans. The penile adhesion can result in biological and behavioral problems, requiring the surgical removal of anomalous scaffolds.
