Abstract

Penile calciphylaxis is a difficult urologic condition to manage. First described by Wood et al in 1997, penile calciphylaxis is a rare cause of penile gangrene.¹ One study found the overall mortality rate associated with penile calciphylaxis to be 64%, with a mean time to death of 2.5 months.² Additionally, no statistically significant difference in survival has been seen between patients treated with penectomy and those treated nonoperatively.³ We report a case of penile calciphylaxis in a patient treated with partial penectomy with scrotoplasty who has survived greater than 1 year without any complication or progression of disease.
