title: Hemihypertrophy of the human corpus cavernosum.
abstract: Hemihypertrophy of the right corpus cavernosum and its accompanying thickened tunica albuginea are responsible for the left lateral deviation in congenital curvature of the penis. Surgical correction is more predictable when the lengths of the dorsal and ventral curvatures of the corpora cavernosa are known.
