Peyronie disease: a clinicopathologic study of 71 cases with emphasis on histopathologic patterns and prevalent metaplastic ossification.

Peyronie disease (PD) is a benign, superficial fibromatosis involving the fascial structures of the penis, causing deformity, pain, and loss of function, for which there are few contemporary studies of the histopathology. We performed a multi-institutional review of 74 routine and consultation specimens submitted with clinical concern for PD. Of these, three non-PD lesions were identified and excluded (a myointimoma, a mammary-type myofibroblastoma, and fibrocalcific atherosclerosis).
