Abstract
Fournier's gangrene is a fulminant, necrotizing soft-tissue infection of the genital, perineal, and perianal regions. Fournier's isolated to the penis is a rare occurrence due the highly vascular nature of the penis. Reported occurrences of penile Fournier's gangrene have occurred in the setting of a clear vascular or traumatic insult. Here we present a case of Fournier's gangrene isolated to the penis in an adult with calciphylaxis secondary to end-stage renal disease.Entities:
