Our data additionally show evidence for a reorganization of the interstitial matrix in vascular areas of the tunica albuginea. Penile plaques demonstrated nerve demyelination in 4 patients and the presence of bacteria in 1. Myofibroblast cells were not observed. © 1981 by The American Urological Association Education and Research, Inc.FiguresReferencesRelatedDetailsCited ByPERINCHERY G, EL-SAKKA A, ANGAN A, NAKAJIMA K, DHARIA A, TANAKA Y, LUE T and DAHIYA R (2018) MICROSATELLITE ALTERATIONS AND LOSS OF HETEROZYGOSITY IN PEYRONIE’S DISEASEJournal of Urology, VOL. 164, NO. 3 Part 1, (842-846), Online publication date: 1-Sep-2000.WESPES E, SATTAR A, NOËL J and SCHULMAN C (2018) DOES PROSTAGLANDIN E1 THERAPY MODIFY THE INTRACAVERNOUS MUSCULATURE?Journal of Urology, VOL. 163, NO. 2, (464-466), Online publication date: 1-Feb-2000.Brock G, Hsu G, Nunes L, von Heyden B and Lue T (2018) The Anatomy of the Tunica Albuginea in the Normal Penis and Peyronie's DiseaseJournal of Urology, VOL. 157, NO. 1, (276-281), Online publication date: 1-Jan-1997.Leffell M (2018) Is There An Immunogenetic Basis for Peyronie's Disease?Journal of Urology, VOL. 157, NO. 1, (295-297), Online publication date: 1-Jan-1997.El-Sakka A, Hassoba H, Pillarisetty R, Dahiya R and Lue T (2018) PEYRONIE'S DISEASE IS ASSOCIATED WITH AN INCREASE IN TRANSFORMING GROWTH FACTOR-beta PROTEIN EXPRESSIONJournal of Urology, VOL. 158, NO. 4, (1391-1394), Online publication date: 1-Oct-1997.Somers K and Dawson D (2018) Fibrin Deposition in Peyronie's Disease PlaqueJournal of Urology, VOL. 157, NO. 1, (311-315), Online publication date: 1-Jan-1997.Iacono F, Barra S, De Rosa G, Boscaino A and Lotti T (2018) Microstructural Disorders of Tunica Albuginea in Patients Affected by Peyronie’s Disease with or without Erection DysfunctionJournal of Urology, VOL. 150, NO. 6, (1806-1809), Online publication date: 1-Dec-1993.Mersdorf A, Goldsmith P, Diederichs W, Padula C, Lue T, Fishman I and Tanagho E (2018) Ultrastructural Changes in Impotent Penile Tissue: A Comparison of 65 PatientsJournal of Urology, VOL. 145, NO. 4, (749-758), Online publication date: 1-Apr-1991.Somers K, Sismour E, Wright G, Devine C, Gilbert D and Horton C (2018) Isolation and Characterization of Collagen in Peyronie’s DiseaseJournal of Urology, VOL. 141, NO. 3 Part 1, (629-631), Online publication date: 1-Mar-1989.Gelbard M (2018) Dystrophic Penile Calcification in Peyronie’s DiseaseJournal of Urology, VOL. 139, NO. 4, (738-740), Online publication date: 1-Apr-1988.Somers K, Winters B, Dawson D, Leffell M, Wright G, Devine C, Gilbert D and Horton C (2018) Chromosome Abnormalities in Peyronie’s DiseaseJournal of Urology, VOL. 137, NO. 4, (672-675), Online publication date: 1-Apr-1987.Lincoln J, Crowe R, Blacklay P, Pryor J, Lumley J and Burnstock G (2018) Changes in the Vipergic, Cholinergic and Adrenergic Innervation of Human Penile Tissue in Diabetic and Non-Diabetic Impotent MalesJournal of Urology, VOL. 137, NO. 5, (1053-1059), Online publication date: 1-May-1987.Metz P, Ebbehøj J, Uhrenholdt A and Wagner G (2018) Peyronie’s Disease and Erectile FailureJournal of Urology, VOL. 130, NO. 6, (1103-1104), Online publication date: 1-Dec-1983.Berg J, Devine C, Horton C, Somers K, Wright G, Leffell M, Dawson D, Gleischman S and Rowe M (2018) Mechanisms of Calcification in Peyronie’s DiseaseJournal of Urology, VOL. 127, NO. 1, (52-54), Online publication date: 1-Jan-1982.Somers K, Dawson D, Wright G, Leffell M, Rowe M, Bluemink G, Berg J, Gleischman S, Devine C and Horton C (2018) Cell Culture of Peyronie’s Disease Plaque and Normal Penile TissueJournal of Urology, VOL. 127, NO. 3, (585-588), Online publication date: 1-Mar-1982.Leffell M, Devine C, Horton C, Somers K, Dawson D, Vande Berg J, Bluemink G and Wright G (2018) Non-Association of Peyronie’s Disease with HLA B7 Cross-Reactive AntigensJournal of Urology, VOL. 127, NO. 6, (1223-1224), Online publication date: 1-Jun-1982.
