Supernumerary ectopic penis in a bull.
A 1-month-old Beefmaster bull was admitted for removal of a congenital ectopic penis and sheath from the right paralumbar fossa. Gross and histologic evaluation of the excised tissue revealed a normal sheath containing a penis that terminated at a prostate gland, medial to the wing of the right ilium. Rectal palpation of the bull 14 months later disclosed no association between the excised ectopic tissue and the normal genital tract.
