Resumen
El término pene no conspicuo (oculto), agrupa las patologías en las que el pene adopta un tamaño aparentemente más pequeño, ya sea porque se oculta bajo el tejido cicatricial en caso del pene atrapado, cuando presenta un pliegue de piel que reduce el ángulo penoescrotal tratándose del pene en vela, o en los casos en los que el pene es cubierto por prepucio redundante produciendo un pene enterrado. Se realiza una revisión de la definición y terminología utilizada a través de la historia, clasificación actual, etiología, diagnóstico y técnica quirúrgica empleada para la corrección del pene no conspicuo (oculto).
