Abstract
We describe a case of penile tuberculosis in a bull. The prepuce was thickened, firm and pale with multifocal to coalescent caseous nodules, and the inguinal and mesenteric lymph nodes were moderately enlarged. Lesions in the prepuce, penis and lymph nodes were characterized by multifocal to coalescent areas of caseous necrosis and marked granulomatous inflammation. Acid-fast bacilli were seen within necrotic foci and Langhans giant cells. Mycobacteriumtuberculosis var. bovis was identified in inguinal lymph nodes by the polymerase chain reaction technique and by bacterial isolation. Although rare, tuberculosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of granulomatous lesions in the genital tract of bulls.

Cutaneous complications of intravesical treatments for bladder cancer: Granulomatous inflammation of the penis following BCG therapy and penile gangrene following mitomycin therapy. J Am Acad Dermatol 2006; 55:328-31.

Abstract
Transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder is frequently treated with intravesical injection of immunotherapeutic (eg, BCG) or chemotherapeutic (eg, mitomycin C) agents. The aim of this study was to report cutaneous complications of intravesical therapy in 2 patients with transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder. A 69-year-old man had an ulceration at the base of the penis and papules involving the glans penis 1 month after injection of intravesical BCG. Biopsy findings showed granulomatous inflammation with foci of dermal necrosis suggestive of a BCG-related granulomatous reaction. The second patient was a 73-year-old man with penile gangrene. Erythema involving his penis and perineum had developed within 24 hours after intravesical administration of mitomycin C, which spilled onto his perineum during catheter removal. The resulting penile gangrene required penectomy 3 months after the injection. Mitomycin C patch testing showed a clear allergic contact reaction. Dermatologists should be aware of these potential cutaneous complications.

Abstract
A case of culture-positive primary cutaneous Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection of the penis was diagnosed in a male patient; 1 year later, endometrial tuberculosis was diagnosed in the patient's wife. These organisms were confirmed to be indistinguishable by use of molecular techniques.
