Аннотация
RATIONALE: Calciphylaxis, known as calcific uremic arteriolopathy, is a rare cause of dry gangrene. Despite an increase in the clinical recognition of demographic characteristics and risk factors associated with calciphylaxis, it remains a poorly understood disease with high mortality.
PATIENT CONCERNS AND DIAGNOSES: We present a 45-year-old man, who was diagnosed with calciphylaxis disease, with a history of diabetes mellitus, end-stage renal disease and cirrhosis with a half-month evolution of painful dry gangrene on his glans penis and scrotum. The patient also presented with gangrene of fingers.
INTERVENTIONS AND OUTCOMES: The patient and his family opted for palliative care. However, he died eventually.
LESSONS: This case contributed to the current understanding of calciphylaxis. Since no standard treatment is available and the prognosis remained poor, early, and accurate diagnosis of calciphylaxis is important. We here report the current case and provide data for the diagnosis and treatment of this kind of disease.
