Is Peyronie's disease iatrogenic?
Three cases of Peyronie's disease are described, in which the condition is associated with hypertension and atherosclerosis. Another common factor is the use of beta-blocking agents in their treatment. A plea is made for an urgent review of the aetiology of Peyronie's disease bearing in mind the possibility of an iatrogenic cause.
