Abstract:

We describe a patient with a very unusual penile abscess. Antibiotic treatment for Clostridium sordellii and Candida albicans infection and drainage of pus was curative. We propose that the penile abscess may have been an unusual manifestation of a rectal fistula.

Keywords: Penile abscess; rectal fistula; pilonidal sinus
