High-resolution real-time ultrasound in Peyronie's disease.

Sonography is not considered to be a radiation hazard; it is noninvasive and can be widely used for examining external genitalia. We examined six cases of Peyronie's disease of the penis by high-resolution real-time ultrasound. The sonographic findings include a thick echogenic plaque with echogenicity similar to or higher than the tunica albuginea; a calcified plaque in thickened tunica albuginea; and are occasionally associated with calcification in the corpora cavernosa.

Congenital short bowel.

Congenital short bowel with malrotation or nonrotation but without atresia is a very rare anomaly. Two male siblings having the same condition are reported here and in addition the other four cases previously cited in the English literature are reviewed.
