AbstractPenile calciphylaxis is a rare cause of penile gangrene that presents in patients with end-stage renal disease. The rates of comorbidity and mortality of penile calciphylaxis are extremely high. Unlike other penile gangrene, such as Fournier’s gangrene, the benefit of aggressive surgical therapy is controversial. Here we present a case of penile calciphylaxis in a 43-year-old man with end-stage renal disease on hemodialysis. He received total penectomy but died due to multisystem complications 2 weeks after surgery. We review the literature on the management options and outcomes in patients with penile calciphylaxis.

Patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) are at an increased risk of bleeding. We report the case of a 40-year-old female, on peritoneal dialysis for ESRD, who presented with profound anemia; she was later found to have a bleeding jejunal dialysis-associated telangiectasia. We review the literature published to date on dialysis-associated telangiectasia and discuss the possible underling etiologies.
