A suprapubic dermoid cyst confused with cutaneous endometriosis: a case report

Suprapubic cartilaginous cyst - A case report

Suprapubic cartilaginous cyst (SPCC) is a rare condition known to occur in postmenopausal multiparous women. It is due to the degeneration of the pubic symphysis. Due to its slow progression and rarity in occurrence, it is often misdiagnosed. Presentation includes a painless mass in the suprapubic region, urinary retention, recurrent urinary tract infections, dysuria and dyspareunia. Knowledge of this condition is of great importance, as this is a benign condition that is managed conservatively, thereby avoiding unnecessary procedures. Surgical resection has not shown to have any additional benefit. Once suspected, MRI is ideal for diagnosis. This case report discusses a SPCC with punctuate calcifications and a locule of gas within it. This is the first documented case of a SPCC with punctuate calcifications.

Congenital penile masses

A 2-month-old boy was referred to our department for evaluation of a double mass on the ventral aspect of the penile shaft. There were no associated signs or symptoms of urologic dysfunction. The patient underwent circumcision with complete resection of the masses under general anesthesia.
