Abstract
Peyronie’s disease is characterized by formation of fibrous tissue plaques within the tunica albuginea causing penile pain, deformity, and shortening. As illustrated in Chapter 7, the diagnosis is based on medical history, autophotography, and a clinical examination with plaque palpation. Ultrasound and other imaging modalities are confirming and allow accurate evaluation of disease extent and assessment of associated erectile dysfunction.
