The incidence of Peyronie's disease has continuously increased during the last 30 years. Because of the better understanding of the basic sciences of the disease, earlier diagnosis and improved medical and surgical treatment, currently patients with Peyronie's disease have a wider range of therapeutic options and may experience a better prognosis, with only few of them in need of prosthesis surgery. This paper reviews the pathogenesis, pathology, diagnosis and treatment of Peyronie's disease.
