Penile calciphylaxis, also known as calcific uremic arteriolopathy is an uncommon condition of the penile vessels due to its extensive vascular network. The aim of this report is to report a very rare case of penile calciphylaxis with penoscrotal necrosis. A 54-year-old male patient presented with progressive penoscrotal necrosis within a duration of one month. He had a history of diabetes mellitus and stage 5 chronic kidney disease. Under spinal anesthesia, partial penectomy and excision of the necrotic scrotum were performed. Histopathological examination was consistent with calciphylaxis. Despite it is a rare occurrence, penile calciphylaxis should be included in the different diagnosis of any diabetic and end stage kidney disease patients who presented with penile pain. |
