A CASE OF PEYRONIE'S DISEASE WITH WIDE INDURATION

Abstract

A 58-year-old male was admitted with chief complain of pain on erection and curvature of penis. He had noticed the sign about 3 years ago and been treated for about a year conservatively. But the thickness gradually increased and he was unable to have sexual intercourse. Physical examination showed also thickening of the bilateral forearm. The induration of the penis which occupied almost all the dorsal area measured about 7cm×3cm. Except the glans penis and corpus cavernosum urethrae, thick corpora cavernosum and tunica albuginea were excised. The pathological change of blood vessels in the penis and skin were similar to that in collagen disease. Therefore, the etiology of our case was suggested to be a collagen disease.
