title: Atypical primary tuberculosis mimicking an advanced penile cancer. Can we rely on preoperative assessment?
abstract: Tuberculosis of penis is a very rare clinical entity. There are isolated reports of its presentation as a subcutaneous nodule with or without superficial ulcers and can be interpreted as advanced penile cancer. We present a case of penile tuberculosis that presented in our Center with a bulky penoscrotal formation treated in other center for the suspicion of Fournier gangrene.
