Horák A. Peyronie´s disease Peyronie's disease (PD) is a chronic non-fatal disease characterized by the occurrence of penile fibrous plaques in the tunica albuginea (TA). Clinical symptoms are pain, palpable induration, or penile deformity of the penis. Sometimes it may be present with erectile dysfunction associated with patient's mental deterioration. The most commonly affected are males between 40-60 years of age. The causes of PD are not entirely clear, probably multifactorial. Therapy is problematic. Therapeutic options are conservative and surgical.
