catheter was removed after 3 weeks and a voiding cysto-urethrogram taken. Thereafter they were followed with regular urethral calibration. RESULTSAll patients voided satisfactorily with a good stream; three were fully continent and the fourth had transient stress urinary incontinence. One patient needed dilatation at 2 months and another visual internal urethrotomy at 5 months. At a mean (range) follow-up of 33 (9-60) months all the patients had a normal voiding pattern and were continent; none developed vaginal stenosis.

Tuberculosis of the kidney is quite a common disease and various forms of presentation are described. In most cases the disease results in atrophy, calcification or necrosis of parenchyma. The kidney is not generally palpable except occasionally in case of hydronephrosis; caused by upper ureteral structure. Renal tuberculosis presenting as large solid mass has not yet been reported. We present a case of solid renal mass of tubercular etiology. Diagnosis and management are presented.

Congenital non-obstructive dilatation of penile urethra (megalourethra) can result from absence of corpus spongiosum alone (scaphoid) or along with the absence of corpora cavernosa (fusiform). Associated urogenital or other systemic anomalies are usually present and require detection and appropriate management. Urethroplasty (Nesbitt) gives desirable results. Condition has been reviewed with report of a case.
