Abstract
Necrotizing fasciitis of the genitalia is a rare urologic emergency that is especially uncommon in children. We report a case of Fournier's gangrene in a four-year-old boy and analyze the data from 55 previously reported cases. Pediatric cases have been successfully managed with a more conservative surgical approach and have had a significantly lower mortality rate than adult cases.Entities:
