Penile Calciphylaxis of the Penis in a Patient of End-Stage Renal Disease: A Case Report
Keywords:
penile calciphylaxis, end-stage renal disease, continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysisAbstract
Objective : Penile calciphylaxis is a very rare disease that presents in patients with end-stage renal disease. The prognosis is poor with high mortality rate. We would like to present a rare case of penile calciphylaxis, risk factors and pathologic findings.
Methods : A case report, data was collected from medical records of Roi-Et hospital
Result : A 69-year-old man with end-stage renal disease, who underwent continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). He presented with chronic wound at glans penis for 2 months. Physical examination revealed necrosis of glans penis. The penectomy was done and the pathologic findings reveal penile calciphylaxis.
Conclusion : Prompt management of the disease is required; penectomy would acts as an infectious source control, improve the prognosis and reduce the mortality rate.
