Abstract
Fournier’s gangrene refers to a rare perineal infection with fulminant evolution towards multiorgan failure if no surgical
treatment is quickly instaured. It mainly affects immunocompromised patients. Very few cases of Fournier’s gangrene circumscribed
to the penis in young healthy patients were published to date. We treated a rare case of a penile Fournier’s gangrene in a young
healthy man.
