Fungal infections of the external genitalia.
In the era of the debilitated or immuno-compromised patient, fungal infections may become more prevalent. Unusual lesions of the external genitalia may be a manifestation of systemic infection. The urologist should be aware of this possibility when confronted with an unusual ulcer, inflammation, induration, or "abscess" of the external genitalia.
