Tunica albuginea cysts are rarely seen but are important and can be diagnosed easily with ultrasonography. Calcium milk is defined as the precipitation of calcium in a cyst or other fluid-containing structure and can be seen in many organs. In this case report, calcium milk seen in a tunica albuginea cyst is discussed.

Penile suspensory ligament: anatomy, function, and clinical perspectives of its repair.
J Sex Med
January 2025
Department of Urology, Holmesglen Private Hospital, Moorabbin 3189, Victoria, Australia.
Background: The penile suspensory ligament (PSL) plays a significant role in penile support and erection and its injury or congenital absence may result in functional impairment of erectile function.
Aim: To describe the diagnosis and surgical repair technique for PSL abnormalities and overall outcomes.
Methods: A comprehensive review of the literature was performed to understand the anatomic relevance of the PSL and historical management of PSL defects.
Paratesticular adenomatoid tumors are benign and rare neoplasms, and the management of these lesions is challenging as many cases end up in the operation room due to the lack of specific clinical and radiological features to differentiate them from malignant lesions. We report a case of adenomatoid tumor of the tunica albuginea in a 48-year-old male along with a review of the literature for similar cases in the last 10 years.

J Sex Med
December 2024
Department of Urology, Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, Lebanon, NH 03756, United States.
Background: Inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP) insertion is recommended for the treatment of patients with Peyronie's disease (PD) and significant erectile dysfunction (ED); adjunctive procedures can be used for residual curvature after IPP placement.
Aim: To assess the management of penile curvature correction in PD patients undergoing IPP procedures within a large multinational, multicenter cohort.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on PD patients treated with IPP by 11 experienced prosthetic surgeons.
Inhibition of phosphodiesterases 1 and 4 prevents myofibroblast transformation in Peyronie's disease.
BJU Int
December 2024
Fibrosis Research Group, Medical Technology Research Centre, Anglia Ruskin University, Chelmsford, UK.
Objectives: To investigate which phosphodiesterase (PDE) isoforms are expressed in fibroblasts isolated from the tunica albuginea (TA) of patients with Peyronie's disease (PD), and to measure the potency of PDE inhibitors in preventing transformation of these fibroblasts to profibrotic myofibroblasts.
Materials And Methods: Fibroblasts isolated from the TA of men undergoing surgery for correction of PD curvature were transformed to myofibroblasts using transforming growth factor beta-1. The expression of 21 PDE isoforms was investigated using quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction and protein analysis, as were the effects of various PDE inhibitors on prevention of myofibroblast transformation.
Corpus cavernosum and tunica albuginea reconstruction by tissue engineering: towards functional erectile structures regeneration.
BMC Urol
December 2024
Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, Xiangya Hospital, Central South University, 87 Xiangya Road, Changsha, 410008, China.
Background: Current treatments for penile erectile structures reconstruction are limited and remain a great challenge in clinical practice. Tissue engineering techniques using different seed cells and scaffolds to construct a neo-tissue open promising avenues for penile erectile structures repair and replacement and show great promise in the restoration of: structure, mechanical property, and function which matches the original tissue.
Methods: A comprehensive literature review was conducted by accessing the NCBI PubMed, Cochrane, and Google Scholar databases from January 1, 1990, to January, 1, 2022 using the search terms "Tissue engineering, Corpus cavernosum (CC), Tunica albuginea (TA), Acellular Matrix, Penile Reconstruction".
