Abstract
Penile calciphylaxis is a rare penile condition associated with end-stage renal disease and is found in 1-4% of hemodialysis patients. The condition has an overall mortality of 64%. Literature has yet to provide a gold standard for the management of this condition. The first case is a 58-year-old diabetic and hypertensive on hemodialysis who presented with ulcerating lesions on the penis. The patient underwent partial penectomy. The patient contracted pneumonia during recovery and expired 3 months after the procedure. The second case is a 56-year-old diabetic with end stage renal disease on dialysis who presented with dry gangrene of the penis. He underwent partial penectomy and was sent home after recovery.
