Abstract:
Tuberculosis of the penis is an extremely rare disease. In 1878 Fournier reported the first case and up to 1971 only 139 cases had been reported. In Korea there were some cases but no report was made in the era of antituberculous drugs. We report a case of tuberculosis of the penis and review the literature briefly.
