Traumatic rupture of the corpus cavernosum of the penis is rare and has been reported infrequently. We experienced 4 cases of penile fracture for recent 2 years. They occurred during coitus(1 case), masturbation(2 cases), and through blunt trauma(1 case). The former 3 cases were treated with immediate surgical intervention about 12 hours after injury. When the last case patient visited hospital 5 days after injury, the penile abscess treated immediately with surgical intervention had developed. Surgery consisted of complete evacuation of the hematoma or pus and repairing of the tear at the tunica albuginea. The results were excellent, with complete early recovery of erectile function. Delayed wound healing was observed only in a patient who underwent surgery about 5 days after injury, but this did not cause any complication afterward. In our experiences, immediate surgical treatment is recommended in patients with fracture of the penis.

Fibrous pseudotumor of the testicular tunics is uncommon lesion. They typically arise as painless scrotal masses that may be associated with a hydrocele or history of trauma or infection. Two-thirds involve the tunica vaginalis testis, with infrequent involvement of other scrotal structures. Once excised, these lesions behave in a benign fashion. Typically, these masses are multinodular, but in rare cases they are diffuse, band-like myofibroblastic proliferations that encase the testis. We report here on a case of fibrous pseudotumor of the tunica vaginalis in 76 year-old patient. (Korean J Urol 2006;47:1130-1132)
