ABSTRACT
skin and subcutaneous tissue. Penis may be secondarily affected in some cases; however, primary isolated involvement of penis is rare. A 48-year male smoker presented with pain and blackish discoloration of the distal part of penis for the last 4 days which developed following rupture of a papulo-vesicular lesion over the prepuce of penis. It rapidly progressed to involve half of the skin of the penis. The patient was hospitalized and broad spectrum antibiotics were administered parenterally. Emergency wound debridement and urinary diversion by suprapubic cystostomy was done. After repeated wound debridement and dressings, the wound healed. Our case was unusual as the penis was the sole site of affection, which is very unusual and only few such cases are reported in the literature.
