Glans necrosis
Keywords:
lschemia, Necrosis, Penile disease, Renal dialisesAbstract
lschemic necrosis of the glans penis is a rare entity. To this day, roughly fifteen cases
have been described. Certain physioÉogical abnormalities are cornmorlly found in
association with this condition, including diabetes, chronic renal failure and peripheral
vascular disease. Usually the penile lesion suffers black-mummy-shaped necrosis or
liquefaction and progresses from dry to wet gangrene. Correct diagnosis and early
treatment are essential for a successful treatment.
