Urethral duplication is a rare congenital anomaly that can present in various clinical forms according to the plane and extent of duplication. Although some are associated with abnormalities of the external genitalia, others present as mild condition which is incidentally found. Nine cases of complete and incomplete types of urethral duplication have been reported in the Korean literature. We report the clinical presentation and management of four cases of various types of urethral duplication in boys

Undetermined gender divided into 4 groups including female pseudohermaphroditism, male pseudohermaphroditism, true pseudohermaphroditism and others. This paper introduced the studies on the causes, diagnosis and treatment of 4 above mentioned groups of diseases. The approach methods of causative diagnosis of undetermined gender (ambiguous genitalia) including clinical approaches, chromosome tests, biochemical tests, genital tract X-ray and genital biopsy.

Congenital prepubic sinus(CPS) is an extremely rare congenital anomaly of the external genitalia of uncertain etiology. Herein, a case of CPS, where immunohistochemical staining was performed to elucidate the etiology of the sinus, is reported. The results of the immunohistochemical study demonstrated the lining epithelium was transitional proximally and squamous distally. These findings suggest that CPS is a variant form of dorsal urethral duplication.

Virilization in female newborns as a result of an ovarian mass known as luteoma of pregnancy is a rare condition. A case of a maternal pregnancy luteoma responsible for virilization of both newborn and mother is reported. Luteoma of pregnancy, first described by Sternberg in 1963, is usually asymptomatic and is discovered incidentally during a cesarean section or postpartum tubal ligation. To date, fewer than 200 cases have been reported in the literature. This report describes a case of a virilized pregnant woman first seen in active labor who eventually underwent cesarean section for arrest of descent. Intraoperative findings showed a well circumscribed, pedunculated mass attached to the left ovary. A healthy baby girl was born with masculinization of the external genitalia.

Median raphe cyst is known as congenital lesion of the perineum and genitalia, but its etiology is unclear. Most investigators believe that the median raphe cyst represent defects in the embryologic developenient bf the male genitalia. Simple surgical excision is effective in most cases. We report our experience with two cases of median raphe cyst without specific symptoms. Even though median raphe cyst is asymptomatic, surgical therapy is worth applicable because it relieve a patient from cosmetic and psychotic problem.

In 1883 Fournier, a French venereologist, described 5 patients with unexplained fulminating gangrene of the male genitalia. Fournier emphasized 3 characteristics 1) the abrupt onset in a young, healthy male subjects, 2) the rapid progression to gangrene and 3) the absence of a discernible cause. As currently used by many authors, Fournier's gangrene describes a widely destructive, gangrenous process of the genitalia, with little regard for Fournier's original tenets of patient's age or definable etiology. Early identification and prompt initiation of medical and surgical therapy is imperative. We report two cases of Fournier's gangrene with brief review of the literatures.

A 31-year-old female patient has had a translucent cystic papule on the genitalia since 2 years ago. The diagnosis was confirmed by clinical and histopathological findings. This is the rare case of apocrine hidrocystoma occring in the fernale genitalia in the literature.
