Abstract Vascular anomalies of the glans penis are very uncommon and have a sparse mention in the literature [1-3]. Nd: YAG laser has been mentioned as a treatment of choice [3]. The thulium laser has not been reported for its use till date. We describe a patient of venous malformation (VM) of the glans penis treated by us with the thulium laser.
