To report a case of Fournier's Gangrene (GF) caused by acute perforated retrocecal appendicitis, which caused damage to the scrotum and testicle, an undeniably exceptional event. Attended in the General Surgery Service of the High Complexity Hospital ““Virgen de la Puerta““ (HACVP). Material and methods: We will describe the case of a patient who, during his admission, presented a clinical picture of colic-type abdominal pain in the right subcostal region associated with a generalized septic picture. Results: GF whose origin mainly derives from anorectal and urological pathologies, and an intra-abdominal origin cannot be ruled out in some cases. The patient underwent surgical cleaning with debridement plus broad-spectrum antibiotic therapy, and the use of V.A.C. (Vacuum Assisted Closure). Finally, he was transferred to the plastic surgery service at the Víctor Lazarte Echegaray Hospital (HVLE) for plastic reconstruction. Discussion: Initial aggressive surgical treatment added to broad spectrum antibiotic treatment reduces mortality. Conclusions: GF can have an abdominal origin (appendicitis) and requires a timely diagnosis and an aggressive surgical approach. Palabras clave: Gangrena de Fournier. Necrosis testicular.
