“…The ulcers are similar in appearance to the oral aphthae, and they are usually painful. An unusual reported localization of genital ulcers in BD is external urethral meatus [76]. The recurrence rate is typically less frequent compared to oral ulcerations.…”

“…The recurrence rate is typically less frequent compared to oral ulcerations. However, genital lesions are usually deeper and last longer than oral ulcers [76]. Due to the clinical heterogeneity of BD and the unpredictable disease course, the systemic treatment is tailored to the severity of symptoms and organ involvement.…”

Background: Vasculitides are specific inflammations of the blood vessel wall that can take place in any organ system of the human body. They may occur as a primary process (primary systemic vasculitides, PSV) or may be secondary to another underlying disease. In general, in association with the specific type of vasculitis, affected vessels vary in size, type, and location. In the following scoping review, we present clinical characteristics and manifestations of PSV with reference to the genitourinary system. Materials and methods: A non-systematic search of the relevant literature was conducted using three electronic databases (PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science) up to 29 October 2021. Results: Urogenital manifestations of PSV are infrequent, with the most commonly reported findings as prostatic or testicular involvements. However, almost all other organs of the genitourinary system can be affected. Conclusions: Because of the clinical heterogeneity and non-specific symptoms, the proper diagnosis of PSV is often delayed and constricted. Fast identification of urological manifestations of vasculitides is essential in implementing appropriate therapy and avoiding unnecessary, harmful, and invasive surgery.
