Primary urothelial carcinomas very rarely arise from the fossa navicularis of the penis. They are rarely reported in the literature, with only 13 cases reported thus far. Herein, we present the case of a 34-year-old man with bloody urethral discharge due to a mass detected by cystourethroscopy in the fossa navicularis. Biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of noninvasive urothelial carcinoma. The patient was managed successfully with two sessions of holmium laser ablation, followed by distal urethrectomy. After the treatment, the patient's erectile function and continence were preserved, and no tumor recurrence was observed after 1 year of follow-up.

Treatment of male anterior urethra strictures: Meatus, navicular fossa and penile urethra.

Introduction: Distal anterior urethral strictures (DAUS) affect the meatus, navicular fossa (NF) and penile urethra (PU). The main causes are inflammatory (lichen sclerosous [LS]), traumatic iatrogenic, or idiopathic. Post-hypospadias stenosis is common and constitutes a separate entity, dealt with in a separate article.

Background: Urethral stricture disease is detrimental to quality of life. The Optilume Urethral Drug Coated Balloon (DCB) offers a solution utilizing a paclitaxel-coated balloon to expand strictures and prevent recurrence. Following the ROBUST trials, it has been proposed that DCB is more effective than conventional endoscopic management for recurrent, small anterior urethral strictures.

Article Synopsis
- Meatal stenosis and fossa navicularis strictures are often caused by lichen sclerosus and surgical procedures, and a new graft technique was evaluated for their reconstruction.
- This study involved 26 patients who underwent a specific surgical method, focusing on preserving the glans cap and using a dorsal inlay graft, with patients monitored for symptom relief and urinary function post-surgery.
- Results indicated that while there were a few complications, most patients experienced significant improvements in symptoms and urinary flow after the procedure, making this technique a promising option for managing these conditions.
Atlantooccipital assimilation associated with combined atlas arch defect: a radiological case report.

Electron Microscopy Unit, Department of Anatomy, Faculty of Medicine, Khon Kaen University, Khon Kaen, Thailand.
Article Synopsis
- The report describes a patient with several rare anatomical variations of the atlas, including atlantooccipital assimilation (AS), anterior arch defect (AAD), and posterior arch defect (PAD), as seen through advanced CT imaging.
- The CT scans revealed specific deformities at the craniocervical junction, such as bilateral fusion between the atlas and occipital bone, and morphometric analysis suggested a risk of spinal cord compression.
- This case is notable because it documents an uncommon combination of these conditions, which has not been previously reported in medical literature.
