Abstrakt: | Objective: To report an uncommon case of Fournier's gangrene caused by a perforated retrocecal acute appendicitis that compromised the scrotum and testis. Methods: Herein we describe a patient that was admitted for abdominal pain localized to the right lower flank and generalized virulent sepsis. Results: Resection of the right inguinal cord and testis was performed. The outcome was poor and the patient died of multiorgan failure. Conclusions: Fournier's gangrene basically arises from anorectal and urological pathologies, although occasionally it may arise from an intraabdominal source, which should be ruled out especially when the abdominal examination shows interesting findings. |
