Abstract:
Uremic calciphylaxis is a rare disease that almost exclusively affects patients with end-stage renal failure and chronic hemodialysis. Glans necrosis is a rare complication of this disease. In this report, we present the case of a 67-year-old patient with diabetes and chronic renal failure who was undergoing hemodialysis and presented with a clinical picture of glans necrosis suggestive of uremic calciphylaxis. The treatment for this patient consisted of partial amputation of the penis.
