When is hypospadias not hypospadias?
Hypospadias is a deformity of urethral and penile development in the male. Some cases are secondary to more serious disorders of sexual differentiation. Simple clinical rules can sort the common morphological defect of hypospadias from the rarer but more dangerous diagnosis of intersex.
