Lipomas are the most common benign tumours that originate from adipose tissue and can develop in any anatomical location where the adipose tissue layer is present in the body. Penile lipoma cases are very rare in the literature. Our case is a 21‐year‐old male patient who underwent TIPU operation 8 years ago due to distal hypospadias. One year after the operation, a palpable swelling at the midline of the ventral portion of the penis occurred and this lesion grew over time. In this case report, we present a patient with lipoma that was developed in the surgical area 1 year after hypospadias surgery. To the best of our knowledge, this is one of the first cases of penil lipoma related to hypospadias procedure.
