Abstract:
Penile tuberculosis is a relatively rare disease. However, considering persisting epidemic of the tuberculosis in the several parts of the world, the growth of migration, predominantly, from these regions, it is reasonable to keep in mind this localization of extrapulmonary tuberculosis. Penile tuberculosis can be primary, secondary and iatrogenic, induced by intravesical instillations of BCG-vaccine for superficial bladder cancer. Penile tuberculosis can affect penile skin, glans and cavernous bodies. Any alteration in the penis is suggested to be due to sexual transmitted diseases or malignant process. The diagnosis is confirmed by morphological study, because microbiological study showed mycobacterium only in one case and PCR is positive in no more than one third of cases.
