Caption:
This image depicts the penis of a male patient, which had been pulled upward revealing an ulcerative wound in the region of the frenulum of the prepuce, or foreskin. The lesion was characterized as a penile subcutaneous granulomata, due to a case of Donovanosis, or granuloma inguinale, a disease caused by the Gram-negative bacterium, Klebsiella granulomatis, formerly known as Calymmatobacterium granulomatis, and even earlier Donovania granulomatis.
