Abstract

Penile ossification is an exceedingly rare condition, with only a handful of histologically confirmed cases reported in the literature.  The most common condition leading to penile ossification is Peyronie’s disease.  Other conditions such as gout, ERSD, diabetes mellitus, hyperparathyroidism, and local trauma have also been associated with penile ossification.  We report a unique case of near-complete penile ossification of the corporal bodies with histologic confirmation on pathologic review.  Our report summarizes the literature regarding this rare entity.
