Case Discussion

Urethral diverticulum is a rare finding in men, as it is more common in females. Urethral diverticulum is a saccular dilatation extending from and contiguous with the true urethral lumen. The communication between the urethral diverticulum and the true urethral lumen may have a narrow or a wide neck.
