Cowper's syringocele--a rare malformation of the male urethra. Erlangen experience in two example cases

Abstract

Cowper's syringocele is a cystic dilation of the male urethra which should be surgically treated when symptomatic. Two cases of syringocele, 1 adult and 1 juvenile, with obstructive micturition and microhematuria are reported. Both patients were treated using the transurethral surgical technique. The results are discussed with reference to the relevant literature.
