Leukocytoclastic vasculitis leading to penile necrosis and ischemia of the bladder and urethra.

We report a case of leukocytoclastic vasculitis-induced penile necrosis in a 69-year-old male with no previous urologic history. After suffering an ischemic event to the distal shaft of the penis as well as an ischemic event involving the right side of the bladder, he underwent suprapubic tube placement for urinary diversion. Despite attempts at anticoagulation for penile salvage, he lost the distal aspect of the glans penis to auto-necrosis. Ultimately, the underlying disease was determined to be systemic ANCA-associated vasculitis, and the patient was treated with rituximab and prednisone as well as penile wound debridement.
