AI Article Synopsis
- * It discusses common penile conditions like priapism and penile fractures, emphasizing MRI's role in visualizing relevant structures and diagnosing these issues.
- * The article also reviews penile cancers, including staging and how MRI helps assess tumor spread, along with conditions like Peyronie's disease, where the tunica albuginea can be evaluated.
Article Abstract
This article reviews the anatomy and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) appearance of the penis. The recommended technique for MRI of the penis is outlined, with discussion of the benefits and drawbacks to imaging the penis after artificial erection. Common penile pathologies are reviewed, with a summary of their clinical features, MRI appearance, and treatment. The ability to demonstrate the erectile bodies and vasculature helps to evaluate vascular pathologies such as priapism, Mondor disease, and cavernosal thrombosis. MRI is also a useful tool to assess for traumatic abnormalities of the penis, with the depiction of soft tissue anatomy and fascial layers allowing for evaluation of penile fracture and penile contusion. Malignant disease of the penis is also reviewed, including squamous cell carcinoma, urethral carcinoma, metastases, and rare neoplasms. Staging of these neoplasms is addressed, with discussion of how MRI can be used to assess the extent of tumor involvement. MRI also clearly demonstrates the tunica albuginea, which allows for evaluation of Peyronie's disease.

Prospective validation of clino-radio-pathological risk scoring system (CRiSS) for prediction of inguinal lymph-nodes metastasis in squamous cell carcinoma of penis.
Urol Oncol
December 2024
Department of Surgical Oncology, The Gujarat Cancer Research Institute, Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India.
Objective: To prospectively validate the diagnostic performance of Clino-radio-pathological Risk Scoring System (CRiSS) for prediction of inguinal lymph-node metastasis (ILNM) in squamous cell carcinoma of penis.
Materials And Methods: A prospective observational study of all patients with SCC penis was conducted between January 1, 2021, and December 31, 2023, at our institute. Data regarding all CRiSS parameters and MRI features of >8mm size and presence of necrosis or irregular outline were recorded, and patients were assigned CRiSS scores and groups.
A detailed analysis of the penile fibro-vascular assembly.

Microsurgical Potency Reconstruction Center, Shu-Tien Urology Ophthalmology Clinic, Taipei 10662, Taiwan.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the penile fibrovascular assembly to determine if it functions as an independent vascular compartment within the human body, addressing a gap in cardiovascular research.
- Researchers examined 23 male cadavers and analyzed extensive medical imaging and hemodynamic data to gain insight into the structure and function of the penile vasculature.
- Results indicate that the human penis contains a unique bi-layered fibrovascular assembly with atypical vascular patterns, challenging previous assumptions about penile venous drainage.
Surgical experience overcomes the impact of prostatic-urethral anatomy on continence recovery after robotic prostatectomy: comprehensive analysis on 366 cases.
World J Urol
November 2024
Department of Urology, Azienda Ospedaliera Universitaria Integrata Verona, Verona, Italy.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore how certain measurements of the prostate-urethral complex (PUC) relate to incontinence after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP).
- Researchers analyzed data from 366 patients who underwent RARP, focusing on various PUC measurements and assessing whether they correlated with continence after the surgery.
- The results revealed that while most patients were continent after 12 months, there was no strong link between PUC measurements and incontinence, except for differences in levator ani thickness, suggesting that surgical proficiency may overshadow anatomical variations in determining continence outcomes.
Defining the potential for sexual structures-sparing for prostate cancer external beam radiotherapy: A dosimetric study.
Cancer Radiother
December 2024
Department of Physics, centre Eugène-Marquis, 35000 Rennes, France.
Purpose: The purpose of the study was to evaluate the dosimetric impact of sexual-sparing radiotherapy for prostate cancer, with magnetic resonance-only treatment planning.
Material And Methods: Fifteen consecutive patients receiving prostate cancer radiotherapy were selected. A synthetic CT was generated with a deep learning method from each T2-weighted MRI performed at the time of treatment planning.
Penile and Testicular Incarceration with a Metal Foreign Body - Full Recovery of Erectile Function after 4 Days of Entrapment.

Penile incarceration with a foreign body is a rare urological emergency necessitating prompt intervention. We present a 59-year-old patient who entrapped penis and right testicle with metal thread reducer for sexual arousal four days prior to admission to Emergency room. Ultrasound revealed significantly reduced Color Doppler signal in right testicle and completely absent signal in penile artery.
