title: [Abscess of corpus cavernosum: two case reports].
abstract: Case 1: A 50-year-old man was admitted to our hospital complaining of miction pain and fever up. Although there was remission by antibiotic treatment, symptoms recurred. Computed tomographic scan revealed swelling of scrotum and penis. Therefore, the patient was diagnosed with abscess of corpus cavernosum. The patient underwent debridement. Although symptoms remissed, he had erectile dysfunction. Case 2: A70-year-old man was admitted to our hospital complaining of perineal painful swelling. The patient was diagnosed with abscess of corpus cavernosum by computed tomographic scan. The patient underwent debridement, and symptoms remissed. If the patient is admitted to hospital complaining of miction pain and fever up, abscess of corpus cavernosum should be suspected.
