Abstract
Necrosis of the body of the penis is rare. It is often associated with complications of circumcision. We report the case of a patient following an intra-cavernous injection of corticosteroid as part of the management of Lapeyronie’s disease. The paucity of care available for Lapeyronie’s disease in our context led us to divert the use of corticoids towards local treatment. Treatment consisted of necrosectomy followed by directed healing.
