    Abstract:
    Fournier's Gangrene (FG) is a type of necrotizing infection or gangrene usually affecting the perineum. Penile gangrene is a rare disease because of rich collateral circulation and blood flow in the perineum and lower abdomen. We report an unusual and rare presentation of FG with isolated glans penis necrosis in a 62-year-old man. The patient underwent subtotal penectomy and closure of the wound with penile skin flap after covering the spongious tissue with dartos fascial flap enclosing the urethra. The recovery phase was uneventful and the patient had no urinating symptoms during follow-up.
