title: Rare penile anomalies presenting with complication of circumcision.
abstract: Two rare penile anomalies, scaphoid megalourethra and 180-degree torsion of the penis, which presented as complications of circumcision are reported. Complications of circumcision of this type may be prevented by careful inspection of the penis prior to circumcision, by delaying circumcision if a penile abnormality is noted, and by careful visualization during all aspects of the procedure.
