In 1883 Fournier, a French venereologist, described 5 patients with unexplained fulminating gangrene of the male genitalia. Fournier emphasized 3 characteristics 1) the abrupt onset in a young, healthy male subjects, 2) the rapid progression to gangrene and 3) the absence of a discernible cause. As currently used by many authors, Fournier's gangrene describes a widely destructive, gangrenous process of the genitalia, with little regard for Fournier's original tenets of patient's age or definable etiology. Early identification and prompt initiation of medical and surgical therapy is imperative. We report two cases of Fournier's gangrene with brief review of the literatures.

Fournier gangrene is a fulminant infection of the genitalia, perineum, or abdominal wall. It is a life threatening progressive disease that requires aggressive surgical therapy and broad spectrum antibiotic treatment. We present one case of Fournier gangrene after penile methamphetamine injection.

Fournier's gangrene is a life-threatening disorder characterized by necrotizing fasciitis of the perineal region. Because delay in diagnosis and treatment of this condition can be fatal, it is important not to overlook the symptoms. We present an unusual case of Fournier's gangrene after excision of a thrombosed hemorrhoid. A previously healthy 74-year-old female patient developed Fournier's gangrene after a hemorrhoidectomy. In spite of aggressive treatment, she eventually died. Here, we emphasize early recognition and prompt treatment of this condition, reporting an unexpected disastrous complication of a hemorrhoidectomy.

Fournier's gangrene is a form of necrotizing fasciitis of the perineal, genital or perianal region due to perianal infection, urinary tract infection or local trauma. Even though many patients may present with minor skin lesions in the early stages of the disease, the natural course of this necrotizing disease is rapid progression of gangrene, eventually resulting in sepsis and death. Therefore, rapid and accurate diagnosis is the most important factor for a successful outcome. We report two cases of Fournier's gangrene in a 21-year-old and 24-year-old male, both of whom commonly presented with painful swelling and tenderness of the scrotum. Although one man showed a rapidly-spreading erythema and induration to the flank and lateral chest, they were both successfully treated with early antibiotic therapy and surgical drainage.
