Cytokines gene expression in the tunica albuginea in patients with Peyronie’s disease. Pilot study with a control group

MATERIALS AND METHODS: Between January 2009 and Decembre 2010 at the Clinic of Urological outpatients clinic of the Policlinico of Palermo were recruited 20 subjects with PD, mean age 62.3 years (range 51-70) and 8 subjects with congenital recurvatum penis (mean …
