title: [Genital sites of Buruli ulcer (BU): clinical and therapeutic aspects].
abstract: BU of the penis and scrotum is a rare disease that can potentially induce extensive lesions. The authors describe the clinical characteristics and treatment in the light of two cases. BU induces irreversible necrotic lesions and despite the knowledge of the micro-organism responsible (Mycobacterium ulcerans), no medical treatment is currently effective. Excision of wounds and skin grafts remain the treatment of choice, and give excellent results.
