## Abstract

Penile fracture is a rare urological emergency defined by the rupture of the tunica albuginea of an erect penis, most often due to blunt trauma during sexual intercourse. Prompt diagnosis and surgical repair are critical to prevent long-term complications such as erectile dysfunction and penile curvature. We present a rare case of penile fracture in a 55-year-old male with type 2 diabetes mellitus and a history of myocardial infarction, highlighting the diagnostic workup with ultrasound, MRI, surgical management, and recovery.
