Abstract:
We present an unusual case of a penile cavernosal abscess. This patient did not improve clinically despite repeat percutaneous aspiration of the abscess and administration of oral fluoroquinolone. Surgical drainage was required. Culture of pus and infected tissues were negative. Three months postoperatively, penile deviation to the left side and erectile dysfunction occurred but the patient was able to have sexual intercourse by using the medication of oral vardenafil. Colchicine was administered orally to the patient for 9 months and the penile curvature was improved.
