Gangrene of penis is an uncommon, debilitating and fulminant condition of infective origin which is characterized by sudden scrotal edema with rapid progression leading to exposure of underlying content. It is usually localized to scrotum and penis, with an occasional extension to anterior abdominal wall(1). The usual organism is an anaerobic Streptococcus synergistic with other organisms(1).
