Three cases of penile self-mutilation].

Penile self-mutilation is rare. We report our experience with 3 cases of penile self-amputation. One case was in a 48-year-old man who had no background history of mental disorders. He amputated his penis using a utility knife. He was referred to our hospital and underwent suture of the wound, but he took his own life one week after the surgery. Another case was in a 42-year-old man who had intelligence impairment. He amputated his penis using a kitchen knife. The other case was in a 41-year-old man who had schizophrenia. He amputated his penis using a piece of broken glass.
