Penile fracture with an associated urethral injury is a rare urological emergency resulting from trauma to the erect penis during vigorous sexual intercourse. The patient often presents with swelling of the penis, discoloration of the penile skin, localized pain, and hematuria with a typical history of sudden detumescence during intercourse. Subcoronal penile degloving incision has been conventionally described and is frequently used by many clinicians for the management of penile fracture-urethral injury. Here, we describe a case of complex penile fracture managed through the vertical penoscrotal incision. The penoscrotal approach confers excellent exposure to both the ruptured corpus cavernosum and urethra. This approach ensures successful outcomes in such an emergency procedure without having disadvantages of the degloving incision.
The patients presenting with lump in inguinal area are mostly suspected as hernias. Epidermoid cyst commonly presenting in head and neck region rarely may develop from inguinal canal structures. We present here a rare case of epidermoid cyst measuring 7×8 cm as a content of inguinal canal diagnosed by ultrasonography. Surgical excision was done and confirmed as epidermoid cyst by histopathology. We conclude that cutaneous cysts in inguinal area may be a presentation and should be kept in mind for differential diagnosis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
