title: Traumatic urethral diverticula: a rare malformation of the male urethra.
abstract: Urethral diverticula are pouches opening into the urethral canal that may be either acquired or congenital. Diverticula of the female urethra are fairly common. However, diverticula of the male urethra are relatively uncommon abnormalities. Clinical manifestation is frequently described with irritative and/or obstructive voiding symptoms or ventral bulging, but manifestation as a scrotal mass is extremely rare. We report a giant urethral diverticulum presenting as a scrotal mass in an adult male.
