False fracture of the penis.

Penile fracture is an uncommon, but well-described, entity that requires emergent treatment. The classic, "text-book" history, a blow to the erect penis accompanied by a "snap," pain, and immediate detumescence, is not universally present. We report 2 cases of "false" penile fracture, a condition that closely mimics "true" penile fracture.

Concurrent malakoplakia and papillary urothelial carcinoma of the urinary bladder.

A case of malakoplakia and papillary urothelial carcinoma of the urinary bladder is reported. In this case, malakoplakia was an incidental finding in a biopsy of the urinary bladder of a 74-yr old female, who presented with hematuria. The biopsy showed a low-grade papillary urothelial carcinoma in close association with malakoplakia.

Allen-Spence repair for coronal and distal penile hypospadias with chordee.

Our experience with the Allen-Spence procedure in 31 children with distal hypospadias is described. The surgical techniques and our results are reviewed and compared to those reported in the literature. This procedure is safe and simple, and provides excellent cosmetic and functional results.
