Fournier's gangrene is a necrotizing infection affecting the male genitalia and perineum, caused by synergistic aerobic and anaerobic organisms. We report on a previously undescribed upper urinary tract etiology for this life-threatening infection.
A 50-year-old male is described who presented with Fournier's gangrene as what is probably the first manifestation of a newly diagnosed acute myelogenous leukemia (AML), promyelocytic type or variant type M3 according to the FAB classification. Despite aggressive fluid resuscitation, tuned infusion of vasoactive drugs, appropriate antibiotics and extensive surgical debridement, the patient died within 24 h as a result of irreversible septic shock.
