One week later, a very painful, rapidly progressing lesion appeared on the anterior part of glans penis (Figure 1).
Computed tomography (CT) of the abdomen and pelvis: significant infiltration of the whole of the penis until its origin and its periphery at the pubic level, with many air bubbles within it. No infiltration of the perineum. Diffuse calcified atheromatous. Fournier gangrene located at the penis level.

No air bubbles were visible inside the corpora cavernosa, and no infiltration of the perineum was seen (Figure 2).
Due to progressive local necrosis, several debridations under narcosis were done, and a suprapubic catheter was placed.
