Abstract

A review of the literature on self-mutilation of male genitalia and/or auto-castration reveals that they are infrequent and usually related to psychoses or toxic states. In this report the authors present a case of a 17-year-old non-psychotic Japanese male who mutilated his genitalia under clear consciousness because of a conflict over his frequent masturbation.
