Congenital megalourethra.
Megalourethra is a rare congenital disorder. The scaphoid type is due to poor development of the corpus spongiosum, whereas in the more severe fusiform variety the corpora cavernosa also are affected. We report 3 cases of megalourethra (2 scaphoid and 1 fusiform types) and review the relevant literature.
