A rare clinical case of penile gangrene in a patient with chronic renal failure and diabetes mellitus

We report here a case of penile gangrene due to penile calciphylaxis in a patient with diabetes mellitus and chronic renal failure. Initially the patient demonstrated dry gangrene of the glans penis, which turned to wet after partial amputation.
