description Key Clinical Message Penile self‐mutilation may result from a suicidal attempt during a major depression crisis. The management of this urological emergency should be multidisciplinary. A macroscopic penile reimplantation performed meticulously by a urological surgeon may yield an excellent cosmetic and functional outcome. Abstract Penile self‐mutilation is an infrequent form of self‐harming behavior seen primarily in patients with schizophrenia spectrum disorders and rarely reported in those with major depressive disorders. We herewith present a major depression related case of penile self‐mutilation successfully managed by macroscopic penile reimplantation performed 8 h after the incident.
