- It is also k/a penile fibromatosis
- It is due to fibrous plaques in one or both corpus cavernosum.They may later calcify or ossify.
- Fibrous plaques lead to pain and curvature of the penis on erection
- Palpable induration or mass appears usually on the dorsolateral aspect of the penis.
- Palmar fibromatosis (Dupuytren’s contracture), plantar fibromatosis and penile fibromatosis (Peyronie’s ds.) are components of the same pathological process called superficial fibromatosis.
- The aetilogy is uncertain, but it may be a result of past trauma.
- Treatment is difficult but some cases may show spontaneous regression. Medical treatments are often ineffective.
- If the penile deformity is distressing, Nesbitt’s operation can be performed to straighten the penis
