Two male patients with chronic renal failure maintained on hemodialysis developed progressive clinical features of ischemic necrosis (so called calciphylaxis) of their extremities and penis. Both patients died. ⋯ A role of iron overload on the production of calciphylaxis is reviewed. This report is perhaps the first in nephrology literature on the occurrence of calciphylaxis involving penis and prepuce.
