Fourniers gangrene is a rare fatal polymicrobial soft tissue infection of perineum, perianal region and external genitalia. It is a form of necrotizing fasciitis. It is aggravated more in diabetics, immunocompromised patients. Immediate fluid resuscitation, parenteral broad spectrum antibiotics with insulin therapy if needed & surgical debridement should be planned.
