Penile Glans Necrosis Associated With Antiphospholipid Syndrome: A Rare Complication.

Penile glans necrosis is a rare clinical condition caused by trauma, diabetes mellitus, adverse effect of vasoconstrictive solutions, and circumcision. Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is categorized as an autoimmune disease with the presence of antiphospholipid antibodies that results in an increased risk of vascular thrombosis and obstetrical complications.
