Penile fracture presenting as eggplant deformity.

ABSTRACT

Penile fracture is caused by sudden trauma to erect penis leading to tear of corpora cavernosa. Although penile fracture is a rare condition, it can lead to crippling penile deformity and erectile impotence, if intervention is delayed. We describe a case of penile fracture caused by masturbation and satisfactory outcome after early surgical intervention. Usually only clinical assessment is sufficient for diagnosis.
