Saxophone penis: A sequel to penoscrotal hidradenitis suppurativa.

Abstract

It has been suggested that long‐standing penoscrotal inflammation culminates in lymphatic fibrosis. Further, diminished blood supply to the dorsal penis heralds contraction of connective tissue that results in dorsal bending of the penis. As vascularity of the ventral penis is not compromised, blood extravasation continues, leading to edema that lifts the distal penis upward and outward, making the dorsal penile curvature more prominent that finally assumes the configuration of a saxophone.[2]
