A 63-year-old man visited the emergency room complaining of knee pain after a fall. Doctors discovered a rare condition called 'penile ossification', where bone-like growth was found in his penis. The case report highlights the unusual extent of the ossification, encompassing the entire penile shaft.
Doctors discovered a man's penis was 'turning to bone' when he turned up at A&E after falling on his bum. The 63-year-old patient went to A&E complaining of knee pain but doctors discovered his penis was 'turning to bone'. Upon examination, it was discovered that a rare condition called ' penile ossification ' was the cause of the patient's todger troubles. What was unusual about the 63-year-old patient's case was 'the presence of ossification in the entire penile shaft'.
According to the case report: 'He was walking on the sidewalk with his cane when he fell onto his buttocks. When he complained of pain in his member, doctors examined him but didn't find any prostate swelling or see any unusual discharge. They performed pelvic X-rays to look for any fractures - and discovered bone-like growth in his penis in the process. 'An extensive, plaque-like calcification along the expected distribution of the penis was evident,' medics wrote. The patient decided to leave the emergency department against medical advice, so doctors weren't able to do any lab tests or follow-up examination. The trigger for the man's penile ossification remains unknown, but doctors suspected that Peyronie's disease contributed to the man's condition. Other factors that may have led to peculiar bone growth in his penis include late-stage kidney disease, metabolic abnormalities, repeated trauma to the penis or chronic inflammation.
