Abstract

Introduction: Peyronie's disease is a connective tissue disorder that presents as indurations or plaques, which are painful in the early phase of its evolution, especially with erection. Objective: To describe the ultrasonographic characteristics of lasting plaques in patients diagnosed with Peyronie's disease. Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional study was carried out on patients treated at the Comandante Pinares General Teaching Hospital in the urology and Imaging services in the period between January 2015 and June 2022. The universe was 245 patients with Peyronie's disease, selected Using a probabilistic method, a sample of 159 was studied. The variables were studied: age, skin color, initial deviation of the penis, ultrasonographic findings, number of simple calcifications and calcified plaques. Descriptive statistics are used to process the information. Results: White patients between 50 and 59 years of age predominated. The average age was 52.2 ± 6.8 years. The plaque was located more frequently on the dorsal surface greater than 60%. Simple calcifications prevailed with 103 (64.8%) followed by calcified plaques with 56 (35.2%) According to size, large calcifications predominated with 85 patients for 82.5%. Regarding calcified plaques, the large ones obtained the highest value with 30 for 53.5%.Conclusions: Ultrasound was a useful technique to achieve the description of linear images with the appearance of fibrocalcifications in patients with Peyronie's disease.
