Core Tip	Fournier's gangrene (FG) is a serious and often deadly polymicrobial infection of the soft tissues of the perineum, the rectum and the external genital organs. We present herein, a case of patient diagnosed with FG, urgently qualified to undergo surgery. After performing the examinations, a resection of the necrotic tissues with bilateral orchiectomy and excision of the penile and scrotal skin was performed. This case highlights that the mortality rate of FG can be reduced if a patient is presented early to the hospital. Early management prevents the resection of the other organs by inhibiting the contiguous spread of infection.
