Arch Esp Urol. 2006 Oct;59(8):809-11. [Penile abscess. Case report] [Article in Spanish] Palacios A, Massó P, Versos R, Osorio L, Carvalho LF, Soares J, Marcelo F. Servicio de Urología, Hospital Geral de Santo Antonio, Porto, Portugal. aphmmx5@hotmail.com Abstract OBJECTIVE: To report one case of penile abscess, with special reference to diagnostic and therapeutic aspects. METHODS: One case of penile abscess is presented in a patient referred for penile swelling. RESULTS: During surgical exploration it showed to be a corpora cavernosum rupture with drainage of a small volume of purulent fluid. CONCLUSIONS: Penile abscess is uncommon. High frequency ultrasonography is a reliable diagnostic imaging method. We were able to incise the affected area of the corpus cavernosum and glans safely, and with appropriate antibiotics this patient was treated successfully. PMID: 17153501 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE
