Abstract
A clinical case is presented of destructive chronic purulent ulcerative-necrotic balanocavernitis with destruction of the glans penis, destruction of the tunica albuginea of the corpora cavernosa, ulcerative distal urethritis combined with cicatricial stenosis and micturition disorder, chronic urinary retention, chronic pain syndrome according to the visual analogue pain scale (VAS) score of 5, and a secondarily shrinkage of penis. The patient underwent sanitary penectomy with ureterocutaneostomy. The presented clinical case is an illustration of a rare outcome of bullous balanoposthitis with the development of a destructive form of balanocavernitis over two years of the clinical course of the disease, leading to penectomy.
