Penile calciphylaxis with penoscrotal necrosis: A case report with literature review

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 exami-nation 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.
