Genitourinary tuberculosis (GUTB), especially penile tuberculosis (PTB), is a disease often overlooked by urological specialists, especially in Europe, where the pathology is less frequent. In this report, we described a case of penile tuberculosis (PTB) characterized by ulcers on the penis. After the patient was administered three months of anti-tuberculosis treatment (isoniazid 0.3 g/qd, rifampicin 0.6 g/qw, and ethambutol 0.75 g/qd), the ulcer disappeared. The patient was followed up for seven months and showed no recurrence.
Keywords: Mycobacterium tuberculosis; a case report; dermatopathology; penile ulcers.
