Abstrakt: We report a 4-year-old boy who had an asymptomatic hemangioma on the ventral aspect of the urethra that caused a dorsal curvature of the penis. Treatment consisted of total excision of the tumor, repair of the urethral defect using a vascularized island flap from the penile skin, and correction of the dorsal curvature of the penis by plication of the ventral aspects of the corpora cavernosa. The cosmetic and functional results were excellent. The peculiar clinical presentation, in which the tumor caused a dorsal curvature of the penis, and the treatment used have not previously been reported in the literature. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
