Abstract
Abstract: In literature very few cases of primary tuberculosis of penis has been reported. It is rare even in developing countries like India where pulmonary tuberculosis is common. We report a case of a 61 years old male patient who presented with non healing slowly progressive ulcer over the shaft of the penis for six months with history of taking multiple antibiotics. The lesion was appearing like malignant penile ulcer. Lesion was diagnosed as tubercular ulcer by wedge biopsy. On further investigation there was no evidence of Tuberculosis elsewhere. Under antitubercular treatment, total penectomy with perineal urethrostomy was done and anti tubercular treatment was continued for 6 months. No evidence of recurrence during the follow up of 3 years. Keywords: Tuberculosis of penis, total penectomy and perineal urethrostomy
