--- Objectives: To determine the association between pathologic pediatric phimosis and social demographic risk factors, previous prepuce medical history, knowledge on foreskin handling. As to know the incidence rate through a case and control study. Materials and Methods: This study was carried out between July 2003 and March 2004, at the Peruvian National Police Hospital. Boys between 3 and 14 years who underwent circumcision at the Pediatric Surgery Unit between 2000 and 2001 for pathologic phimosis were included as cases. A control was assigned to each case. A descriptive phase was carried out to establish the phimosis incidence rate and to describe variables, then followed by the case and control study, to establish the OR whit IC 95%. Results: Between 2000 and 2001 94 boys were circumcided, 65 of these were selected as cases. The incidence rate for pathologic phimosis in boys minors of 14 years was 0,18 per cent. The incidence was 10,45 per 100 operations. The average age was 6,57 years (SD 3,1), 61.5% were sons of subofficers. Socio-economic status C (44,6%) prevailed followed by status D (29,2%). Univariate association assesment showed that being son of a subofficer was a protective factor. Statistically significant association was found with Type I of penis at birth. As, traumatic prepuce exercises, recurrent balanopostitis, prepuce trauma, lack of penis hygiene and inadequate knowledge of penis hygiene had too a statistically significant association with pathologic phimosis. Bivariate association assesment in the cases showed statistically significant association between lack of penis hygiene and inadequate knowledge of penis hygiene of the boys.
