The location of the apocrine hydrocystoma in the penis region is rare. We
present a case where we evaluated the erectile function of a patient presenting
such an asymptomatic formation. We assessed the psychogenic component of
the erectile dysfunction based on the association of the somatic component of
the cyst with the patient¡¯s inability to focus on sexual intercourse. The fear of
traumatization of the cyst during sexual intercourse was considered as a triggering
factor of the chain of insufficient or unsuccessful erections, and the
sexual performance anxiety as a factor in maintaining this erectile dysfunction.
Apparently, an organic cause induced an erectile dysfunction, through
non-organic (predisposition, triggering and maintenance) mechanisms.
