Abstract

Peyronie's disease (PD) usually affects middle-aged men. This condition is characterized by fibrosis and plaque in the tunica albuginea that results in deformity of the penis and makes sexual intercourse difficult. We report a case of a 52-year-old male who presented with complaints of curvature of the erect penis and erectile dysfunction. Based on our imaging findings, the patient was diagnosed with PD. ultrasonography (USG), elastography, and CT findings are described.
