Which came first? An association between Fournier’s gangrene and a presentation of priapism

Introduction: Fournier’s gangrene and priapism are two urological emergencies that have a similar goal of prompt surgical evaluation. Case Report: A 62-year-old male was presented for perineal pain along with a rigid phallus. He was found to have a necrotizing infection of his suprapubic region, scrotum, phallus, and corporal bodies associated with a presentation of priapism. Conclusion: Prior case studies have reported isolated Fournier’s gangrene to the penile shaft, corpora of the penis, and even more unique in the penile corpora with an associated diagnosis of priapism. Here we present one of the only known cases of Fournier’s gangrene associated with a presentation of priapism.
