Fournier gangrene is a rare but severe complication of ulcerative colitis, characterized by necrotizing fasciitis affecting the genital and perineal regions. We present a case of a 53-year-old man with a history of ulcerative colitis and cytomegalovirus (CMV) colitis who developed Fournier gangrene, an exceptionally uncommon occurrence in this patient population. The patient initially presented with intense pain, swelling, and skin discoloration in the genital area, accompanied by systemic symptoms, including fever.
