Penile necrosis is an uncommon condition associated, in most cases, with calciphylaxis, also known as calcific uremic arteriolopathy.

description Penile necrosis is an uncommon condition associated, in most cases, with calciphylaxis, also known as calcific uremic arteriolopathy. It is a progressive disease found in approximately 1%–4% of patients with end stage renal disease. Patients with penile calciphylaxis present a mortality rate of up to 70%, with life expectancy of two-and a half months following the diagnosis. We report a severe calciphylaxis case that had to be submitted to a penectomy but survived the penile event.
