Abstract
|
|
|
|
Candida albicans is considered to be responsible for up to 35% of all cases of infectious balanitis. We report a man with glans necrosis with candidal infection. A 56 year old man visited our institute to consult for penile pain and black colored glans of penis. He had noted two months earlier due to gradually increased wounds, resulting in voiding difficulty. On the physical examination, there was hard necrotic lesion on the glans of penis with secondary meatal stenosis. Tissue culture and biopsy suggested candidial infection. We review the literature on the different forms of presentation of this condition and the differential diagnosis of ischemic penile lesions.
