Anterior urethral diverticulum produced by Cowper's gland duct cyst.
A case of congenital urethral diverticulum is presented. The patient was a 16-year-old boy with the chief complaint of dribbling urine since he was 14 years old. A retrograde urethrogram revealed a diverticulum of the bulbar urethra, which had been produced by a cystic dilation of the Cowper's gland duct. The walls of the diverticulum were resected endoscopically.
