Among the diseases that affect the external genitalia of bulls, the acropostite-phimosis
deserves emphasi. In some cases, can be diagnosed severe mucosal involvement of the
internal leaflet preputial which can cripple surgery. Among the complications, when opting
for surgery, is the compromising the free end of the penis that has not been appointed as
common sequela. This paper aims to describe the clinical and histopathological findings of an
unusual case of stenosis and fibrosis of the inner preputial leaflet with resultant necrosis of the
free end of the penis, as complications after surgery acropostite - phimosis. During the
procedure, fragments of damaged areas for histopathology analysis were collected. Unable to
surgical correction of the prepuce phimosis, amputation of penile segment was required. The
procedure was backed by histopathologic findings that confirmed the gravity of the case.
