title: Case report: Cowper's syringocele treated with Holmium:YAG laser.
abstract: A syringocele is a cystic dilation of Cowper's duct. We report on a 15-year-old boy with persistent dysuria attributable to a syringocele, which was treated by endoscopic unroofing with the holmium:YAG laser. The classification, pathophysiology, and management options of Cowper's syringocele are briefly reviewed.
