Abstract

Penile calciphylaxis is a condition associated with end stage renal disease that presents a diagnostic and management challenge. We present a case of a 43 year old male with end stage renal disease on dialysis who was managed by partial penectomy and survived 19 months post operatively. We discuss the available management options as well as the prognosis and outcomes of the condition while advocating for a patient tailored management plan.

Keywords: Penectomy; Penile calciphylaxis; Penile gangrene.
