Chronic penile lymphedema arises from the abnormal retention of lymphatic fluid in the subcutaneous tissues and may be secondary to local and systemic medical conditions such as sexually transmitted diseases, filariasis, malignancy, local radiotherapy, and surgery. This case report aims to consider compulsive masturbation as a possible cause of chronic penile edema. A 40-year-old man was referred to our institute for behavioral disturbance, including compulsive masturbation. Neuropsychiatric evaluation showed moderate mental retardation, mild dysarthria and limb incoordination, anxiety, depressed mood, and impulse dyscontrol. Brain MRI pointed out diffuse white matter lesions. Urogenital examination revealed an uncircumcised penis with non-tender edema of the shaft and prepuce with areas of lichenification. Since the most common local and systemic causes of edema were excluded, chronic penile edema due to compulsive masturbation was diagnosed and the compulsive behavior treated with an antidepressant and low-dose neuroleptics. Compulsive masturbation should be taken into account when counselling patients with penile edema.

Facial lymphedema secondary to treatment by a neoplastic process is a rare and disabling pathology, causing functional and aesthetic alterations. A case report of facial and labial lymphedema describing the functional repercussion and aesthetic defect. We present a 61-years-old female patient suffered a tongue neoplasia and bilateral cervical lymphadenectomy in 2015. After several treatments, including diverse surgical interventions and adjuvant radiotherapy, developed facial and labial lymphedema. The patient was sent to our Rehabilitation Department complaining about swelling of the face and lips, dysphagia, sialorrhea, xerostomia, dysarthria and decubitus in lower lip by labia protusion. Due to the functional repercussion that it caused in the patient, rehabilitating physical treatment was planned with manual lymph drainage, facial silicone orthosis and lymphatic taping. The patient improved both subjectively as well as objectively in terms of hardness, volume and slight improvement of lip lymphedema.
