La Peyronié´s disease is a pathological entity firstly described in 1743, by François Gigot de la Peyronie, presented as an induration in the albuginia of the cavernous body of the penis.

The symptoms are penis curvature during the erection, pain and poor  consistence in the zone of the curvature. Due to this disease's infra-diagnosis and the repercussion it has for the patient, we  decided to present a case of La Peyronie´s disease. ACS patient, aged 25 years, white, assisting the consultation because  of a pain and a volume increase of the penis proximal portion,  accompanied by depression, and family antecedents of mother  with  Ledderhose´s disease. The penis ultrasound imaging showed fibrosis plaques; the rest of the complementary tests showed no alterations. It is necessary to popularize this disease for its opportune diagnosis and treatment.
