Abstract

Several systemic diseases may become manifest in the genital region. A systematic approach to diagnosis, including careful review of the clinical history associated with a comprehensive knowledge of local and systemic signs and symptoms is paramount in order to properly manage these conditions. Furthermore, selecting the most adequate laboratory investigation to aid in the diagnosis, particularly in diseases with unusual etiology or presentation, is an important skill. In this Chapter, the systemic disorders that may affect the male genitalia are reviewed.
