We report here a case of penile gangrene due to penile calciphylaxis in a patient with diabetes mellitus and chronic renal failure. Initially the patient demonstrated dry gangrene of the glans penis, which turned to wet after partial amputation. The main cause of the gangrene was considered to be ci...

description We report here a case of penile gangrene due to penile calciphylaxis in a patient with diabetes mellitus and chronic renal failure. Initially the patient demonstrated dry gangrene of the glans penis, which turned to wet after partial amputation. The main cause of the gangrene was considered to be circulatory insufficiency induced by severe arteriosclerosis. Despite high mortality rate associated with ischaemic penile gangrene aggressive management is recommended for those who are not terminal.
