Supplementary file 1_Case Report: A case of Fournier’s gangrene of the scrotum.docx

A 68-year-old man with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes and untreated stage 2 hypertension presented with a 7-day history of painful scrotal and perianal swelling. Imaging revealed subcutaneous gas and necrotic sinus tracts, and tissue cultures showed a polymicrobial infection. Fournier’s gangrene was diagnosed. Prompt surgical debridement, vacuum sealing drainage (VSD), glycemic control, and antibiotic therapy led to complete recovery, highlighting the importance of early recognition and aggressive management.
