[ Fournier gangrene: a rare complication of multiple myeloma].
A 69-year-old male patient with multiple myeloma developed a dolent swelling of the right side of his scrotum at the time of maximal leukocyte depression after cytostatic drug therapy. Within a few hours the scrotal skin became gangrenous. After surgical debridement of the necrotic tissues and simultaneous antibiotic therapy the necrosis showed a favorable course.
