RESUMO
La gangrena de Fournier es una enfermedad amenazante para la vida, que se caracteriza por fascitis necrosante del área perineal. Afecta con mayor frecuencia a pacientes adultos con inmunosupresión y son pocos los casos reportados en la población pediátrica. El uso de fármacos anti-inflamatorios no esteroideos (AINEs) se ha asociado con fascitis necrosante, probablemente por supresión de la inmunidad durante la infección. Describimos el caso de un paciente con 6 meses de edad sin factores inmu-nosupresores, con gangrena de Fournier, probablemente asociada a la ingesta de AINEs.
Founier's gangrene is a rare but life-threatening disease characterized by necrotizing fasciitis of the perineal area. It mostly affects adult patients with an immunosuppressant factor and there are only a few cases reported in children. Use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs has been associated with necrotizing fasciitis probably because of suppressing host immunity during infection. We describe a case of a six month old infant without im-munosuppressant factors, with Founier´s gangrene probably associated with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory intake.

Penile augmentation by the injection of mineral oil provokes many serious, undesirable effects. Although there are reports of complications such as deformity, ulceration, necrosis, and erectile dysfunction, Fournier's gangrene resulting from the injection of petroleum jelly into the penis has not been reported. Here, we present a 42-year-old man with penile vaselinoma causing Fournier's gangrene which was treated successfully with aggressive surgical debridement, followed by penoscrotal reconstruction using groin and bilateral superomedial thigh flaps.
